umxReduce: Reduce models, and report the results.

In umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Reduce models, and report the results.

Description

Given a umx model (currently umxACE and umxGxE are supported - ask for more!) umxReduce will conduct a formalised reduction process. It will also report Akaike weights are also reported showing relative support across models.

Specialized functions are called for different type of input:

1. GxE model reduction For umxGxE() models umxReduceGxE() is called.

2. ACE model reduction For umxACE() models,umxReduceACE() is called.

umxReduce reports the results in a table. Set the format of the table with umx_set_table_format(), or set report= "html" to open a table for pasting into a word processor.

umxReduce can be extended to new cases as demand emerges.

Usage

umxReduce(
  model,
  report = c("markdown", "inline", "html"),
  intervals = TRUE,
  testD = TRUE,
  baseFileName = "tmp",
  tryHard = "yes",
  silent = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

model	The OpenMx::mxModel() which will be reduced.
report	How to report the results. "html" = open in browser
intervals	Recompute CIs (if any included) on the best model (default = TRUE)
testD	Whether to test ADE and DE models (TRUE)
baseFileName	(optional) custom filename for html output (defaults to "tmp")
tryHard	Default = "yes"
silent	Default = FALSE
...	Other parameters to control model summary
