rename_factors: Rename factors consistently across a bayesqm_fit

In bayesqm: Bayesian Q Methodology: Probabilistic Factor Analysis

Rename factors consistently across a bayesqm_fit

Description

Replaces the default f1..fK factor labels everywhere they appear on the fit: posterior-mean and credible-interval loading matrices, the factor-score matrices, the factor-characteristics table, the correlation matrix, the flagged matrix, the distinguishing / consensus table column names, and the factor dimension of the raw Lambda_draws / F_draws arrays.

Usage

rename_factors(fit, new_names)

Arguments

fit	A bayesqm_fit object.
new_names	Character vector of length K with the new factor labels.

Value

The input fit with every factor label replaced.

Examples

fit <- demo_fit(N = 6, J = 10, K = 3, Td = 50, seed = 1)
fit <- rename_factors(fit, c("tradition", "innovation", "caution"))
colnames(fit$loa)
