Overview

About

Maintained by Jose Ventura-LeonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides tools for psychometric and statistical analysis in social sciences, including functions for data preprocessing, factor analysis, reliability testing, descriptive statistics, visualization of Likert-scale items, measurement invariance analysis, and handling of multi-class imbalance. Facilitates advanced data analysis tasks commonly encountered in psychological and educational research. Includes an updated easy_invariance() function for ordinal data following Wu and Estabrook (2016) doi:10.1037/met0000051.

Changes in 1.2.4

Examples of the factor-analysis functions (EFA_modern(), EFA_plot(), Standardized_solutions(), Standardized_solutions_cfa(), multi_cfa(), fit_index_Table(), plot_multi_sem(), combine_likert_sem(), safe_cfa(), cor_afe(), extract_fit(), factor_summary() and the boot_cfa*() / boot_efa*() families) now simulate Likert items from correlated latent factors. They used independent sample(1:5) draws, so the models had no common factor and could fail to converge on some platforms: the EFA_plot() example stopped with "fit measures not available if model did not converge" in the CRAN donttest check.
Version 1.2.3 was submitted to CRAN but withdrawn before review; its changes are included here.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jventural/PsyMetricTools")

Development version from jventural/PsyMetricTools. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-psymetrictools

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-PsyMetricTools

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-PsyMetricTools

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
