In gimme: Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation

Searches for paths. Ties together highest.mi and return.mis functions.

Description

Searches for paths. Ties together highest.mi and return.mis functions.

Usage

search.paths.ms(
  obj,
  data_list,
  base_syntax,
  fixed_syntax,
  elig_paths,
  prop_cutoff,
  n_subj,
  chisq_cutoff,
  subgroup_stage,
  ms_allow,
  ms_tol,
  hybrid,
  dir_prop_cutoff
)

Arguments

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.
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 searching.
elig_paths	A character vector containing eligible paths that gimme is allowed to add to the model at a given stage.
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.
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.
chisq_cutoff	Cutoff used in order for MI to be considered significant. Value varies depending on stage of search (e.g., group, subgroup, individual).
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.
