betaselectr 0.1.2.2
New Features
-
lav_betaselect()can also compute the “standardized” intercepts, though in the same waylavaandoes, by dividing an intercept by the standard deviation of the outcome variable (theyvariable). This can be enabled by settingstd_intercepttoTRUE(FALSEby default). (0.1.2.1)
Improvement
-
lav_betaselect()will no longer check whether variables involved in a product term have been mean-centered by default (but can still be enabled if necessary). The coefficient of the so-called “main effect” term of these variables will now be computed correctly even without mean-centering. (0.1.2.1, 0.1.2.2)
Miscellaneous
-
lav_betaselect()will not compute the coefficients of covariances and variances that involve a product term, if the variables involved are not mean-centered. Without mean-centering, it is impossible to compute them if the joint distribution of the variables is not multivariate normal. (0.1.2.1)
betaselectr 0.1.2
CRAN release: 2025-05-02
Bug Fixes
-
lav_betaselect(): The standardized coefficients of the component variables of a product term are incorrect if mean-centering is not done. For now,lav_betaselect()will check whether they are mena-centered. If not, it will raise an error and suggest users to mean-center the involved variables first. (0.1.1)
