Overview

About

Maintained by Laura S. BruckmanCRAN page ↗

The network structural equation modeling conducts a network statistical analysis on a data frame of coincident observations of multiple continuous variables [1]. It builds a pathway model by exploring a pool of domain knowledge guided candidate statistical relationships between each of the variable pairs, selecting the 'best fit' on the basis of a specific criteria such as adjusted r-squared value. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation Award EEC-2052776 and EEC-2052662 for the MDS-Rely IUCRC Center, under the NSF Solicitation: NSF 20-570 Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers Program [1] Bruckman, Laura S., Nicholas R. Wheeler, Junheng Ma, Ethan Wang, Carl K. Wang, Ivan Chou, Jiayang Sun, and Roger H. French. (2013) doi:10.1109/ACCESS.2013.2267611.

Changes in 0.7.0

Refactored. Changes to codebase, but with same functionality.
netSEMp1() and netSEMp2() function call updates
User no longer needs to follow a specific column order in data frame, but can explicitly declare in function argument.
Updates to output format.
netSEMp1() "best relationship"" outputs are now in a data frame format with equation forms included.
pseudoR2 calculations included for comparison with nls() model evaluation.
netSEMp1() now saves model object only for best relationship.
paths() function now return all degradation pathways with varying lengths.
Rank-ordering is evaluated by looking at the relationship with lowest adjusted R-squared.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("netSEM", 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-netsem

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-netSEM

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-netSEM

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.
