- Fix bug in
nice_fit()
that created an error with
categorical variables (#37)
- Fix bug in
lavaan_defined()
/
lavaan_extract()
that repeated the first cell on all other
rows of the first column (#36)
- Now skips tests and examples when
DiagrammeRsvg
is not
installed
- CRAN resubmission to fix unicode problem
- New release + CRAN
- New paper in JOSS!
Citation updated accordingly.
?lavaanExtra
now works as expected.
write_lavaan()
: accepts a new argument,
threshold
, represented by the “|” operator.
lavaan_ind()
renames to lavaan_defined()
because it was not specific to indirect effects but actually extracts
any user-defined parameters such as total effects and moderated slopes
using the :=
operator.
lavaan_reg()
gets rid of the estimate argument, to
comply with best practices of reporting both unstandardized and
standardized parameters with their respective confidence intervals.
- new function:
lavaan_extract()
, which takes a specific
operator and extracts relevant information (now used internally for
lavaan_reg()
, lavaan_defined()
,
lavaan_cov()
)
- CRAN resubmission
- New function:
nice_modindices
, which outputs
modification indices along item labels and a similarity score between
the left-hand side and right-hand side items. Useful to assess item
redundancy when considering modification indices.
- CRAN resubmission: suggested dependencies now check for the correct
version with
rlang::check_installed()
.
- CRAN resubmission: tests now run even without suggested
dependencies.
nice_tidySEM
: new argument: reduce_items
,
to change the size of the nodes (boxes) of the items defining the latent
variables (which often require less emphasis).
nice_tidySEM
: now omit the leading zero when using
standardized coefficients (for APA style).
nice_fit
:
- Update fit indices recommendations from Schreiber et al. (2006) to
Schreiber (2017). Only benchmark that has changed is RMSEA, moving to
< .05 [.00, .08]
from
< .06-.08 [.00, .10]
.
- Make table shorter by combining the RMSEA column and its confidence
interval and shortening the AIC and BIC interpretations.
lavaan_cov
: renamed r column to covariance since in
some cases standardized residual variances were not real
correlations.
- New function:
lavaan_cor
, which is the same as
lavaan_cov
but only for actual correlations
lavaan_reg
, lavaan_ind
, and
lavaan_cov
: new argument estimate
which can be
either “B” to obtain standardized estimates and corresponding p values
and confidence interval, or “b” for unstandardized values.
nice_lavaanPlot
: stars now appear not only for
regression per default, but also for latent variables and covariances
c("regress", "latent", "covs")
.
nice_tidySEM
: corrected a bug whereas if the layout
contained columns named c(“IV”, “M”, “DV”), it would remove any extra
columns (such as items), explicitly ignoring part of the layout
provided.
nice_lavaanPlot
: now default to black path lines
instead of gray.
- In examples and internal tests, now check for package availability
to satisfy CRAN requirements.
- Remove vignettes from package, to satisfy CRAN package size
requirements (they are still available on the website however).
nice_fit
: better error message when not providing a
lavaan object.
tmvnsim
package now required for nice_tidySEM as it
seems necessary to use tidySEM
’s new version.
nice_tidySEM
: New argument to hide covariances:
hide_cov
(defaults to FALSE
).
- Breaking changes:
- We remove the copied/reexported
save_as_docx
and the
like in favour of explicitly calling
flextable::save_as_docx
. This way we are not creating
namespace conflicts for these functions, we are consistent with the new
approach in rempsyc
, and it also gives credit to the
flextable
package, as this is the powerhouse that produces
the tables under the hood.
nice_fit
now requires a list of models (or a single
model), so it will not accept models loosely provided in the function as
different arguments. This is because we get rid of the dot-dot-dot
...
argument in favour of supporting list objects.
nice_fit
now has an added footnote reference to
Schreiber et al. (2006) for fit indices references when using
nice_table = TRUE
.
nice_fit
: gains a model.labels
argument to
customize the model names in the table.
lavaan_ind
gains an argument,
underscores_to_arrows
, to replace underscores by arrows for
the indirect effect column, so that indirect effects are more quickly
visually interpretable.
nice_tidySEM
: More meaningful error message when
providing unmatching label names.
nice_fit
look improved when using
nice_table = TRUE
rempsyc
package dependency is now on CRAN, so we can
rely on it normally now (yeah!).
- Adding test coverage (100% so far!).
- Preparing for CRAN.
nice_tidySEM
: Gains the label_location
and
...
arguments.
nice_tidySEM
: Corrected bug when not providing a
structure/matrix layout.
- Added new function:
nice_tidySEM
, for a quick and
decent-looking tidySEM
plot with sensical (but
customizable) defaults.
write_lavaan
: Exciting news! Automatic indirect effects
now seemingly support any combination of IV, moderator, and DV!
write_lavaan
: Automatic indirect effects now support
another scenario: two mediators and three IVs!
- Added new function:
nice_lavaanPlot
, for a quick and
decent-looking lavaanPlot
with sensical (but customizable)
defaults.
write_lavaan
: Automatic indirect effects now support
another scenario: two mediators and two IVs!
write_lavaan
: Fixed bug with automatic indirect effects
when more than 1 mediator making forbidden paths (two mediators tested
successfully)
cfa_fit_plot
:
- Adds ellipsis to pass any desired argument to
lavaan::cfa
, and thus removes the default
missing = "fiml"
which was causing a bug with
estimator = DWLS
.
- Changes the default from saving to PDF to opening in RStudio Viewer,
and adds an additional
save.as.pdf
argument to save as
PDF.
- Now imports
flextable::save_as_docx
(and
save_as_html
, save_as_image
,
save_as_pptx
…) to support saving the nice_fit
tables to Word without having to explicitly load flextable
or rempsyc
.
- Added package logo!
- Added new function:
cfa_fit_plot
to simultaneously
print, save, and plot the CFA results.
- Added new arguments/symbols:
constraint.equal
(==
), constraint.smaller
(<
),
constraint.larger
(>
), custom
(accepts a single, lavaan-like string)
- Added automatic indirect effects
