xmu_dot_mat2dot: Return dot code for paths in a matrix

Description

Return dot code for paths in a matrix is a function which walks the rows and cols of a matrix. At each free cell, it creates a dot-string specifying the relevant path, e.g.:

ai1 -> var1 [label=".35"]

Its main use is to correctly generate paths (and their sources and sink objects) without depending on the label of the parameter.

It is highly customizable:

1. You can specify which cells to inspect, e.g. "lower".

2. You can choose how to interpret path direction, from = "cols".

3. You can choose the label for the from to ends of the path (by default, the matrix name is used).

4. Offer up a list of from and toLabel which will be indexed into for source and sink

5. You can set the number of arrows on a path (e.g. both).

6. If type is set, then sources and sinks added manifests and/or latents output (p)

Finally, you can pass in previous output and new paths will be concatenated to these.

Usage

xmu_dot_mat2dot(
  x,
  cells = c("diag", "lower", "lower_inc", "upper", "upper_inc", "any", "left"),
  from = c("rows", "cols"),
  fromLabel = NULL,
  toLabel = NULL,
  showFixed = FALSE,
  arrows = c("forward", "both", "back"),
  fromType = NULL,
  toType = NULL,
  digits = 2,
  model = NULL,
  SEstyle = FALSE,
  p = list(str = "", latents = c(), manifests = c())
)

Arguments

x

a umxMatrix() to make paths from.

cells

which cells to process: "any" (default), "diag", "lower", "upper". "left" is the left half (e.g. in a twin means matrix)

from

one of "rows", "columns"

fromLabel

= NULL. NULL = use matrix name (default). If one, if suffixed with index, length() > 1, index into list. "one" is special.

toLabel

= NULL. NULL = use matrix name (default). If one, if suffixed with index, length() > 1, index into list.

showFixed

= FALSE.

arrows

"forward" "both" or "back"

fromType

one of "latent" or "manifest" NULL (default) = don't accumulate new names.

toType

one of "latent" or "manifest" NULL (default) = don't accumulate new names.

digits

to round values to (default = 2).

model

If you want to get CIs, you can pass in the model (default = NULL).

SEstyle

If TRUE, CIs shown as "b(SE)" ("b [l,h]" if FALSE (default)). Ignored if model NULL.

p

input to build on. list(str = "", latents = c(), manifests = c())

Value

• list(str = "", latents = c(), manifests = c())
