worcs - Workflow for Open Reproducible Code in Science

Create reproducible and transparent research projects in 'R'. This package is based on the Workflow for Open Reproducible Code in Science (WORCS), a step-by-step procedure based on best practices for Open Science. It includes an 'RStudio' project template, several convenience functions, and all dependencies required to make your project reproducible and transparent. WORCS is explained in the tutorial paper by Van Lissa, Brandmaier, Brinkman, Lamprecht, Struiksma, & Vreede (2021). <doi:10.3233/DS-210031>.

tidySEM - Tidy Structural Equation Modeling

A tidy workflow for generating, estimating, reporting, and plotting structural equation models using 'lavaan', 'OpenMx', or 'Mplus'. Throughout this workflow, elements of syntax, results, and graphs are represented as 'tidy' data, making them easy to customize. Includes functionality to estimate latent class analyses, and to plot 'dagitty' and 'igraph' objects.

bain - Bayes Factors for Informative Hypotheses

Computes approximated adjusted fractional Bayes factors for equality, inequality, and about equality constrained hypotheses. For a tutorial on this method, see Hoijtink, Mulder, van Lissa, & Gu, (2019) <doi:10.1037/met0000201>. For applications in structural equation modeling, see: Van Lissa, Gu, Mulder, Rosseel, Van Zundert, & Hoijtink, (2021) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2020.1745644>. For the statistical underpinnings, see Gu, Mulder, and Hoijtink (2018) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12110>; Hoijtink, Gu, & Mulder, J. (2019) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12145>; Hoijtink, Gu, Mulder, & Rosseel, (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/q6h5w>.

tidyLPA - Easily Carry Out Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) Using Open-Source or Commercial Software

Easily carry out latent profile analysis ("LPA"), determine the correct number of classes based on best practices, and tabulate and plot the results. Provides functionality to estimate commonly-specified models with free means, variances, and covariances for each profile. Follows a tidy approach, in that output is in the form of a data frame that can subsequently be computed on. Models can be estimated using the free open source 'R' packages 'Mclust' and 'OpenMx', or using the commercial program 'MPlus', via the 'MplusAutomation' package.

metaforest - Exploring Heterogeneity in Meta-Analysis using Random Forests

Conduct random forests-based meta-analysis, obtain partial dependence plots for metaforest and classic meta-analyses, and cross-validate and tune metaforest- and classic meta-analyses in conjunction with the caret package. A requirement of classic meta-analysis is that the studies being aggregated are conceptually similar, and ideally, close replications. However, in many fields, there is substantial heterogeneity between studies on the same topic. Classic meta-analysis lacks the power to assess more than a handful of univariate moderators. MetaForest, by contrast, has substantial power to explore heterogeneity in meta-analysis. It can identify important moderators from a larger set of potential candidates (Van Lissa, 2020). This is an appealing quality, because many meta-analyses have small sample sizes. Moreover, MetaForest yields a measure of variable importance which can be used to identify important moderators, and offers partial prediction plots to explore the shape of the marginal relationship between moderators and effect size.

pema - Penalized Meta-Analysis

Conduct penalized meta-analysis, see Van Lissa, Van Erp, & Clapper (2023) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/6phs5>. In meta-analysis, there are often between-study differences. These can be coded as moderator variables, and controlled for using meta-regression. However, if the number of moderators is large relative to the number of studies, such an analysis may be overfit. Penalized meta-regression is useful in these cases, because it shrinks the regression slopes of irrelevant moderators towards zero.

BFpack - Flexible Bayes Factor Testing of Scientific Expectations

Implementation of various default Bayes factors for testing statistical hypotheses. The package is intended for applied quantitative researchers in the social and behavioral sciences, medical research, and related fields. The Bayes factor tests can be executed for statistical models such as univariate and multivariate normal linear models, generalized linear models, special cases of linear mixed models, survival models, relational event models. Parameters that can be tested are location parameters (e.g., group means, regression coefficients), variances (e.g., group variances), and measures of association (e.g,. bivariate correlations), among others. The statistical underpinnings are described in Mulder, Hoijtink, and Xin (2019) <arXiv:1904.00679>, Mulder and Gelissen (2019) <arXiv:1807.05819>, Mulder (2016) <DOI:10.1016/j.jmp.2014.09.004>, Mulder and Fox (2019) <DOI:10.1214/18-BA1115>, Mulder and Fox (2013) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-011-9295-3>, Boeing-Messing, van Assen, Hofman, Hoijtink, and Mulder <DOI:10.1037/met0000116>, Hoijtink, Mulder, van Lissa, and Gu, (2018) <DOI:10.31234/osf.io/v3shc>, Gu, Mulder, and Hoijtink, (2018) <DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12110>, Hoijtink, Gu, and Mulder, (2018) <DOI:10.1111/bmsp.12145>, and Hoijtink, Gu, Mulder, and Rosseel, (2018) <DOI:10.1037/met0000187>.

gorica - Evaluation of Inequality Constrained Hypotheses Using GORICA

Implements the generalized order-restricted information criterion approximation (GORICA), an AIC-like information criterion that can be utilized to evaluate informative hypotheses specifying directional relationships between model parameters in terms of (in)equality constraints (see Altinisik, Van Lissa, Hoijtink, Oldehinkel, & Kuiper, 2021), <doi:10.31234/osf.io/t3c8g>. The GORICA is applicable not only to normal linear models, but also to generalized linear models (GLMs), generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs), structural equation models (SEMs), and contingency tables. For contingency tables, restrictions on cell probabilities can be non-linear.
