Overview

About

Maintained by Walter LeiteCRAN page ↗

Perform sensitivity analysis in structural equation modeling using meta-heuristic optimization methods (e.g., ant colony optimization and others). The references for the proposed methods are: (1) Leite, W., & Shen, Z., Marcoulides, K., Fish, C., & Harring, J. (2022). doi:10.1080/10705511.2021.1881786 (2) Harring, J. R., McNeish, D. M., & Hancock, G. R. (2017) doi:10.1080/10705511.2018.1506925; (3) Fisk, C., Harring, J., Shen, Z., Leite, W., Suen, K., & Marcoulides, K. (2022). doi:10.1177/00131644211073121; (4) Socha, K., & Dorigo, M. (2008) doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2006.06.046. We also thank Dr. Krzysztof Socha for sharing his research on ant colony optimization algorithm with continuous domains and associated R code, which provided the base for the development of this package.

Changes in 1.5.5

Added sensitivity analysis using tabu search

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("SEMsens", 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-semsens

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-SEMsens

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-SEMsens

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.
