find_b: Estimate regression coefficients

In lebebr01/metaRmat: Synthesis of Correlation Matrices

Estimate regression coefficients

Description

Estimate regression coefficients

Usage

find_B(model_input, R)

Arguments

model_input	Model input as a character string. Multiple models need to be on their own line. Model syntax uses lavann like syntax, see details for more details about this syntax.
R	A correlation matrix, most likely this will be the average correlation matrix outputted from the metafor package.

Details

Detailed examples of lavaan like syntax can be found: http://lavaan.ugent.be/tutorial/syntax1.html.

The output will be the same length as the number of regression equations specified in the model_input argument.

Value

A list of parameter estimates

Examples

Br <-  matrix(c(1.00000000, -0.09773331, -0.1755029,  0.3186775,
-0.09773331,  1.00000000,  0.5271873, -0.4175596,
-0.17550292,  0.5271872,  1.0000000, -0.4006848,
0.31867753, -0.41755963, -0.4006848,  1.0000000),
nrow = 4, byrow = TRUE)

colnames(Br) <- c("Performance",  "Self_confidence",  "Cognitive", "Somatic" )

rownames(Br) <- colnames(Br)

## Proposed path model
model <- "## Regression paths
Performance ~  Self_confidence  + Cognitive  + Somatic
Self_confidence ~ Cognitive + Somatic "

find_B(model, Br)
