Overview

About

Maintained by Jeffrey GirardCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Circumplex models, which organize constructs in a circle around two underlying dimensions, are popular for studying interpersonal functioning, mood/affect, and vocational preferences/environments. This package provides tools for analyzing and visualizing circular data, including scoring functions for relevant instruments and a generalization of the bootstrapped structural summary method from Zimmermann & Wright (2017) doi:10.1177/1073191115621795 and functions for creating publication-ready tables and figures from the results.

Changes in 2.0.1

Minor improvements and fixes

The package's tests now pass on CRAN's macOS x86_64 flavors. The check of ssm_sem_syntax()'s single-group output against a stored copy compared cosine and sine loadings printed at 17 significant digits, and that platform's math library rounds one of them a single unit in the last place differently. The comparison now ignores differences beyond 12 significant digits and nothing else. ssm_sem_syntax()'s output is unchanged.
The package's tests now pass on Linux arm64. Two checks of ssm_draws() compared amplitudes computed by the package's C++ code against the same amplitudes computed in R, and required the two to agree to the last bit. They do on every other platform, but on that one they can differ by one unit in the last place. The checks now require agreement to 12 significant digits. No result reported by ssm_draws() has changed.

The package's tests now pass on Linux arm64 in a third place. One check priced a deliberately ill-conditioned matrix and required axes_reliability()'s internal accuracy check to report a number for it. Whether a number can be computed at that matrix depends on the platform's linear algebra library: on Linux arm64 the inversion gives up, which the check treated as a defect. It now accepts either outcome and requires what is true on both — that the fit is refused, and that the accuracy check says so. axes_reliability() refuses that matrix on every platform, as it did before, and no result it reports has changed.
The figures in the pre-rendered vignettes (Introduction to SSM Analysis, Intermediate SSM Analysis, Advanced Circumplex Visualization, Evaluating Circumplex Structure, SEM-Based SSM Analysis, Growth Models on SSM Parameters, and Axes Reliability) are rendered at twice the previous resolution. They had been rendered at 72 dpi and stretched to the article width on the package website, so they looked soft on high-resolution screens.

Install

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

install.packages("circumplex", 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("jmgirard/circumplex")

Development version from jmgirard/circumplex. 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-circumplex

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-circumplex

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-circumplex

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.
