test.partition.pls: Calculating the comparison tests

Description

Calculating the comparison tests

Usage

test.partition.pls(
  x,
  inner,
  outer,
  mode,
  scheme,
  scaling,
  scaled,
  modtwo,
  signif,
  method,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

matrix or data frame containing the data.

inner

A square (lower triangular) boolean matrix representing the inner model (i.e. the path relationships between latent variables).

outer

list of vectors with column indices or column names from Data indicating the sets of manifest variables forming each block (i.e. which manifest variables correspond to each block).

mode

character vector indicating the type of measurement for each block. Possible values are: "A", "B", "newA", "PLScore", "PLScow". The length of mode must be equal to the length of outer.

scheme

string indicating the type of inner weighting scheme. Possible values are "centroid", "factorial", or "path".

scaling

optional list of string vectors indicating the type of measurement scale for each manifest variable specified in blocks. scaling must be specified when working with non-metric variables. Possible values: "num" (numeric), "raw", "nom" (nominal), and "ord" (ordinal).

scaled

whether manifest variables should be standardized. Only used when scaling = NULL. When (TRUE, data is scaled to standardized values (mean=0 and variance=1).

modtwo

vector indicating the binary partition

method

string indicating the method: LM or LAD.

Further arguments passed on to test.partition.pls.

signific

string indicating a stop condition.

Value

list containing matrices needed for the comparison test
