New pnrqM dataset for use in vignettes and examples (multi-construct
dyadic data) courtesy of @mprine and @TheGlazedDonut
dySEM 1.4.0
outputParamTab() can now generate df of correlation matrix of latent
variables in the model
vignettes for Correlated Dyadic Factors Model, Mulitple Correlated
Dyadic Factors Model, and Latent APIM written in advance of
preprint/submission of Sakaluk & Camanto
added verbose option to scrapeVarCross() to print progress messages
during data scraping
dySEM 1.3.2
@omarjcamanto has built a beauty
function called outputUniConstructComp() for comparing different
varieties of uniconstruct models.
added a new argument (includeMeanStruct) to scriptAPIM() (and soon
to be for other bi-construct scripters). By defaulting to FALSE, this
will enable these scripted models to cooperate with dynamic fit indexes
(which currently do not support mean structures)
dySEM 1.3.1
deep dive ensuring correct specification + unit tests for all
uniconstruct models across FF and MV scale-setting options
dySEM 1.3.0
add two new exemplar datasets, imsM and prqcQ (both of which contain
multi-construct data) for use in the vignettes and examples
scriptHier() and scriptBifac() added to list of uni-construct
scripters
dySEM 1.2.1
scriptCor() functionality assumes scripting of correlated factor
models for 1-construct dyadic models; multi-construct correlated factor
models now handled by scriptCFA() (previously for uni-construct
correlated factor models)
dySEM 1.2.0
Major changes
New scriptUni() functionality for univariate dyadic SEM models, lead
@omarjcamanto
New functionality for dyadic CFA models with multiple factors (e.g.,
from subscales), lead by @jsakaluk
Minor changes
New optionality for ordering in scrapeVarCross (Partner-Stem-Item
[“psi”])
Improved test coverage (esp. for new functionality)
dySEM 1.1.1
A revamping of the outputting functionality, lead @omarjcamanto
Major changes
Deprecated outputModel(), in favour of two separate functions:
outputParamFig() (for path diagram), and outputParamTab() (for table of
parameter estimates)
Deprecated getInvarCompTable(), in favour of outputInvarCompTable()
(for table of invariance comparisons); this now returns a more flexible
data frame (with optionality for gt())
Created outputContraintTests() (for table of parameter-specific
dyadic noninvariance tests with Langrange multipliers); this now returns
a more flexible tibble (with optionality for gt())
dySEM 1.1.0
Added some basic dyadic EFA functionality (simulations forthcoming),
including scripters, a model fitting and comparison sequence wrapper,
and some unit tests
dySEM 1.0.0
Marks the first release of dySEM on CRAN. From here on out, the
NEWS.md file will be updated with each new release.
BREAKING CHANGES
Implemented a new style of arguments for constraints on the
measurement model (e.g., constr_dy_x_meas) and structural model (e.g.,
constr_dy_x_struct) for the scripters, in order to make addition of
arguments for other design-based constraints (e.g., groups, waves of
assessment) easier in future releases. These arguments replace the
previous model and equate arguments in the scripters (which have been
deprecated) and default to the most constrained (i.e.,
indistinguishable) version of the model being scripted.
Major Changes
@omarjcamanto joins the dySEM team as a
co-author! Omar has been a major contributor to the dySEM project during
the Fall 2023 semester, and we are excited to have him on board moving
forward.
We now have unit tests! While coverage has taken a hit in our
switch to the new arguments for constraints, there is a critical mass of
tests in place for scrapeVarCross(), scriptCFA() and scriptAPIM(), and
the scriptHelpers underlying them. For scriptCFA() and scriptAPIM(),
there are specific tests ensuring the appropriate number of estimated
parameters and dfs, and equivalent model fit for the FF and MV
scale-setting versions (thanks to @omarjcamanto for his work on these).
We will continue to add tests for other functions in future releases, as
well as a vignette explaining how we use number of estimated parameters
and dfs, and model fit indexes in unit tests for quality assurance in
dySEM’s model specification.
We have added two new user-facing wrapper functions:
getContraintTests() (which should help with more insights into what
items are driving dyadic noninvariance), and getInvarCompTable() (which
facilitates a more parsimony-favouring and inclusive “build-up”
invariance testing sequence, beginning with most constrained model and
relaxing constraints in a step-wise fashion).
Minor Changes
We have made a number of updates to our documentation and vignettes,
in order to bring these into line with the BREAKING and Major changes of
this release.
dySEM 0.0.3
