🎓 Tidy tools for academics

*** This package is in very early development. Feedback is encouraged!!! ***

Installation

Install the development version from Github with:

## install devtools if not already
if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("devtools")
}
## install tidysem from Github
devtools::install_github("mkearney/tidysem")

Load the package (it, of course, plays nicely with tidyverse).

## load tidyverse
library(tidyverse)

## load tidysem
library(tidysem)

Latent variable models

Structural equation modeling (SEM)

Conduct latent variable analysis using structural equation modeling.

## mutate data and then specify and estimate model
sem1 <- polcom %>%
  mutate(therm_2 = therm_2 / 10, 
    therm_1 = 10 - therm_1 / 10) %>%
  tidy_sem_model(news =~ news_1 + news_2 + news_3 + news_4 + news_5 + news_6,
    ambiv_sexism =~ ambiv_sexism_1 + ambiv_sexism_2 + ambiv_sexism_3 + 
      ambiv_sexism_4 + ambiv_sexism_5 + ambiv_sexism_6,
    partisan =~ a*therm_1 + a*therm_2,
    ambiv_sexism ~ age + sex + hhinc + edu + news + partisan) %>%
  tidy_sem()

## print model summary
sem1 %>%
  tidy_summary()
