prune.paths: Prunes paths. Ties together lowest.z and return.zs functions.

In gimme: Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation

Prunes paths. Ties together lowest.z and return.zs functions.

Description

Prunes paths. Ties together lowest.z and return.zs functions.

Usage

prune.paths(
  base_syntax,
  fixed_syntax,
  add_syntax,
  data_list,
  n_paths,
  n_subj,
  prop_cutoff,
  elig_paths,
  subgroup_stage = FALSE
)

Arguments

base_syntax	A character vector containing syntax that never changes.
fixed_syntax	A character vector containing syntax that does not change in a given stage of pruning.
add_syntax	A character vector containing the syntax that is allowed to change in a given stage of pruning.
data_list	A list of datasets to be used in a given stage of the search. Varies based on group, subgroup, or individual-level stage.
n_paths	The number of paths that are eligible for pruning. Equal to the number of paths in add_syntax.
n_subj	The number of subjects in a given stage of the search. If in the group stage, n_subj equals the number of subjects. If in the subgroup stage, n_subj equals the number of individuals in a given subgroup. At the individual stage, n_subj = 1.
prop_cutoff	The proportion of individuals for whom a path must be nonsignificant in order for it to be dropped from the models. NULL if used at the individual-level.
elig_paths	A character vector containing eligible paths that gimme is allowed to drop from the model at a given stage.
subgroup_stage	Logical. Only present in order to instruct gimme what message to print to console using writeLines.

Value

Returns updated values of n_paths and add_syntax.
