Overview

About

Maintained by Fatih OrçanFirst published 2020-09-229 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides tools to conduct Monte Carlo simulations under different conditions (e.g., varying sample size, data normality) for structural equation models (SEMs). Data can be simulated based on user-defined factor loadings and correlations, with optional non-normality added via Fleishman's power method (1978) doi:10.1007/BF02293811. Once generated, models can be estimated using 'lavaan'. This package facilitates testing model performance across multiple simulation scenarios. When data generation is completed (or when generated data sets are given) model tests can also be run. Please cite as "Orçan, F. (2021). MonteCarloSEM An R Package to Simulate Data for SEM. International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 8 (3), 704-713."

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MonteCarloSEM", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-montecarlosem

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MonteCarloSEM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MonteCarloSEM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
