In jsakaluk/dySEM: Dyadic Structural Equation Modeling

A Function That Exports Tables and/or SEM Diagrams based on dySEM models

Description

This function takes the model from fitted dySEM() scripts and exports table(s) and/or a path diagram figure of expected output.

Usage

outputModel(
  dvn,
  model = NULL,
  fit,
  table = TRUE,
  tabletype = NULL,
  figure = TRUE,
  figtype = NULL,
  writeTo = NULL,
  fileName = NULL
)

Arguments

dvn	input dvn list from scrapeVarCross
model	character input specifying type of model to output (e.g., "cfa", "apim", "cfm")
fit	input object from fitted lavaan model
table	logical input of whether table output is desired. Default is TRUE
tabletype	character input of what type of table(s) is(are) desired. options are "measurement" (i.e,, loadings, intercepts,), "structural" (i.e., latent slopes, such as actor/partner effects, k parameters), or "both" (i.e., both measurement and structural tables)
figure	logical input of whether figure output is desired. Default is TRUE
figtype	character input of what type of figure is desired
writeTo	A character string specifying a directory path to where the file(s) should be saved. If set to “.”, the file(s) will be written to the current working directory. The default is NULL (which will throw an error), and examples use a temporary directory created by tempdir().
fileName	A character string specifying a desired base name for the output file(s). If a fileName not provided (i.e., default fileName = NULL), then defaults will be used (e.g., "dySEM_table"/"dySEM_table_Measurement"/"dySEM_table_Structural for tables; "dySEM_figure" for figures). The specified name will be automatically appended with the appropriate file extension (i.e., .rtf for tables; .png for figures).

Details

If a file with the same name already exists in the user's chosen directory, it will be overwritten.

Value

Ignore console (prints unnecessary semPlot::semPaths details). More importantly, prints word files for the table(s) and/or figure, outputted to the users working directory

Examples

dvnx <- scrapeVarCross(dat = commitmentQ, x_order = "spi", x_stem = "sat.g", x_delim1 = ".",
x_delim2="_", distinguish_1="1", distinguish_2="2")

sat.config.script <- scriptCor(dvnx, lvname = "Sat", constr_dy_meas = "none",
constr_dy_struct = "none")

sat.config.mod <- lavaan::cfa(sat.config.script, data = commitmentQ, std.lv = FALSE,
auto.fix.first= FALSE, meanstructure = TRUE)

outputModel(dvnx, model = "cfa", fit = sat.config.mod, table = TRUE,
tabletype = "measurement", figure = "TRUE", figtype = "standardized",
writeTo = tempdir(), fileName = "dCFA_configural")
dvnxy <- scrapeVarCross(dat = commitmentQ, x_order = "spi", x_stem = "sat.g", x_delim1 = ".",
x_delim2="_", distinguish_1="1", distinguish_2="2",
y_order="spi", y_stem="com", y_delim1 = ".", y_delim2="_")

apim.indist.script <-  scriptAPIM(dvnxy, lvxname = "Sat", lvyname = "Com", est_k = TRUE)

apim.indist.mod <- lavaan::cfa(apim.indist.script, data = commitmentQ, std.lv = FALSE,
auto.fix.first= FALSE, meanstructure = TRUE)

outputModel(dvnxy, model = "apim", fit = apim.indist.mod, table = TRUE,
tabletype = "measurement", figure = "TRUE", figtype = "standardized",
writeTo = tempdir(), fileName = "APIM_indist")
