plot.alignment_check: Plot Sorted Alignment Ratios

In bifactory: (Bifactor) ESEM with Continuous (MLR) or Ordinal (WLSMV) Data

Plot Sorted Alignment Ratios

Description

Produces a sorted alignment ratio plot (as in Figure 2 of Mehrvarz & Rouder 2026) for one or all factor pairs. Flat horizontal spread = invariant (ICM-CFA tenable). Dispersion = misspecification.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'alignment_check'
plot(x, pair = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	An alignment_check object.
pair	Character. Name of a specific factor pair (e.g., "F1-F2"). If NULL (default), plots all pairs in a grid.
...	Ignored.

Value

Called for its side effect of drawing the alignment-ratio plot; invisibly returns NULL.
