Print method for a
'lav_betaselect' object, which
is the output of
lav_betaselect().
Arguments
- x
A
lav_betaselect-class object, such as the output oflav_betaselect().- ...
Optional arguments to be passed to
print()methods.- nd
The number of digits after the decimal place. Default is 3.
- output
String. How the results are printed. Default is
"lavaan.printer", and the results will be printed in a format similar to the printout of the output of thesummary-method of a 'lavaan'-class object. If set to"table", the results are printed in a table format similar to that oflavaan::parameterEstimates()withoutputset to"data.frame".- standardized_only
Logical. If
TRUE, the default, only the results for the standardized solution will be printed. IfFALSE, then the standardized solution is printed alongside the unstandardized solution, as in the printout of the output ofsummary()of a 'lavaan'-class object.- show_Bs.by
Logical. If
TRUEandoutputis"lavaan.printer", then the column"Bs.by"is shown, indicating, for each parameter, the variables standardized. This column is not shown ifoutputis not"lavaan.printer".- by_group
If
TRUE, the default, and the model has more than one group, sections will be grouped by groups first, as in the print out ofsummary()inlavaan. IfFALSE, then the sections will be grouped by sections first.- na_str
The string to be used for cells with
NA. Default is" ", a whitespace.- sig_stars
If
TRUE, the default, symbols such as asterisks (*,**,***) will be used to denote whether a beta-select is significant.- ci_sig
If
TRUE, the default, a beta-select will be denoted as significant or not significant based on its confidence interval.
Details
The default format of the printout,
"lavaan.printer",
is similar to that of the summary()
of a lavaan object.
Users can also select whether
only the standardized solution is
printed or whether
the standardized solution is appended
to the right of the printout.
If output is set to "table"' the format is that of [lavaan::parameterEstimates()] with output = "data.frame"`,
which is compact but not easy to
read.
