CreateTotalEffMat: Summarizes Total Effects
In PathSelectMP: Backwards Variable Selection for Paths using M Plus

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

this is a helper function for AllTotEffOutput1 which is better for the regular user and it is a helper function for CreateTotalSummary, and it is used to extract total effects from M Plus .out files

1	CreateTotalEffMat(FileName, Directry)

`FileName`	a list of length 1 containing the string which is the folder name which contains .inp and .out M Plus files after backwards selection
`Directry`	the path where the folder specified by `FileName` is located

extracts total effects with standard errors and p values from final .out file

returns list of length 4:

`TotalEffects`	dataframe containing the total effects
`TotalEffectsStandardError`	data frame with the standard errors of the total effects
`TotalEffectsPVals`	dataframe contains the p values for these effects
`TotalEffectsCount`	data frame with a 0 if the total effect is not present and a 1 if it is present in the analysis

this function is applied over all imputed data sets or can be used with one data set and analysis at a time, but this function is a helper function that is likely not necessary for the regular user
