dyadMLM: Tools for Dyadic Multilevel Models

Description

dyadMLM validates and prepares cross-sectional and intensive longitudinal dyadic data for multilevel modeling. It creates model-ready variables for APIMs, DIMs, and DSMs and provides supporting post-estimation tools.

Main functions

• prepare_dyad_data() validates long-format dyadic data and creates model-ready variables.

• compare_nested_models() compares compatible nested glmmTMB models fitted to equivalent data.

• recover_exchangeable_covariance() back-transforms exchangeable shared/difference random-effect covariance structures into member-level quantities.

• simulate_dyad_responses() and check_partner_dependence() provide experimental predictive comparisons of response variances and partner correlations.

• check_dyad_residuals() and check_dyad_outcomes() compare residual and outcome distributions using the same simulations.

Example data

See dyads_cross and dyads_ild for Gaussian examples, and dyads_nbinom_cross and dyads_nbinom_ild for negative-binomial examples.

Getting started

See vignette("getting-started", package = "dyadMLM") for an overview. The APIM, DIM, and DSM vignettes provide model-specific examples.
