Overview

About

Maintained by Kim NimonFirst published 2025-08-282 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides a Shiny application to conduct comprehensive analysis of latent means including the examination of group equivalency, propensity score analysis, measurement invariance analysis, and assessment of latent mean differences of equivalent groups with invariant data. Group equivalency and propensity score analyses are implemented using the 'MatchIt' package [Ho et al. (2011) doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i08], ensuring robust control for covariates. Structural equation modeling and invariance testing rely heavily on the 'lavaan' package [Rosseel (2012) doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02], providing a flexible and powerful modeling framework. The application also integrates modified functions from Hammack-Brown et al. (2021) doi:10.1002/hrdq.21452 to support factor ratio testing and the list-and-delete procedure.

Install

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

install.packages("calms", 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-calms

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-calms

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-calms

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