mpa: Moderated Profile Analysis

In cddesja/profileR: Profile Analysis of Multivariate Data in R

Moderated Profile Analysis

Description

Implements the moderated profile analysis approach developed by Davison & Davenport (unpublished)

Usage

mpa(formula, data, moderator, k = 100, na.action = "na.fail")

Arguments

formula	An object of class formula of the form response ~ terms.
data	An optional data frame, list or environment containing the variables in the model.
moderator	Name of the moderator variable.
k	Corresponds to the scalar constant and must be greater than 0. Defaults to 100.
na.action	How should missing data be handled? Function defaults to failing if missing data are present.

Details

The function returns the criterion-related moderated profile analysis described in Davison & Davenport (unpublished). Missing data are presently handled by specifying na.action = "na.omit", which performs listwise deletion and na.action = "na.fail", the default, which causes the function to fail. The following S3 generic functions are not yet available but will be in future implementations. summary(),anova(), print(), and plot(). These functions provide a summary of the analysis (namely, R2 and the level and pattern components); perform ANOVA of the R2 for the pattern, the level, and the overall model; provide output similar to lm(), and plots the pattern effect. WORKS ONLY WITH TWO GROUPS!

Value

A list containing the following components:

• call - The model call

• output - The output from the moderated criterion-related profile analysis

• f.table - The corrected F-table for assessing differences in patterns.

• moder.model - The standard moderated regression model
