Prunes paths. Ties together lowest.z and return.zs functions.
prune.paths(
base_syntax,
fixed_syntax,
add_syntax,
data_list,
n_paths,
n_subj,
prop_cutoff,
elig_paths,
subgroup_stage = FALSE
)Returns updated values of n_paths and add_syntax.
A character vector containing syntax that never changes.
A character vector containing syntax that does not change in a given stage of pruning.
A character vector containing the syntax that is allowed to change in a given stage of pruning.
A list of datasets to be used in a given stage of the search. Varies based on group, subgroup, or individual-level stage.
The number of paths that are eligible for pruning. Equal to the number of paths in add_syntax.
The number of subjects in a given stage of the search. If in the group stage, n_subj equals the number of subjects. If in the subgroup stage, n_subj equals the number of individuals in a given subgroup. At the individual stage, n_subj = 1.
The proportion of individuals for whom a path must be nonsignificant in order for it to be dropped from the models. NULL if used at the individual-level.
A character vector containing eligible paths that gimme is allowed to drop from the model at a given stage.
Logical. Only present in order to instruct gimme what message to print to console using writeLines.
