IVPP

An implementation of the Invariance Partial Pruning (IVPP) approach described in Du, X., Johnson, S. U., Epskamp, S. (in prep) to comparing idiographic and panel network models. IVPP is a two-step method that first test for global network structural difference with invariance test and then inspect specific edge difference with partial pruning.

Installation

To install from CRAN:

install.packages("IVPP")

You can install the development version of IVPP from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("xinkaidupsy/IVPP")

Example

An example that uses IVPP to compare panelGVAR models:

library(IVPP)

# Generate the network
net_ls <- gen_panelGVAR(n_node = 6,
                        p_rewire_temp = 0.5,
                        p_rewire_cont = 0.5,
                        n_group = 2)

# Generate the data
data <- sim_panelGVAR(temp_base_ls = net_ls$temporal,
                      cont_base_ls = net_ls$omega_zeta_within,
                      n_person = 200,
                      n_time = 3,
                      n_group = 2,
                      n_node = 6)

# global test on both nets
omnibus_both <- IVPP_panelgvar(data,
                               vars = paste0("V",1:6),
                               idvar = "subject",
                               beepvar = "time",

# global test on temporal

                               partial_prune = FALSE,
                               ncores = 2)

# global test on cont
omnibus_cont <- IVPP_panelgvar(data,
                               vars = paste0("V",1:6),
                               idvar = "subject",

                               net_type = "sparse",
                               partial_prune = FALSE,
                               ncores = 2)

# partial prune on both networks
pp_both <- IVPP_panelgvar(data,
                          vars = paste0("V",1:6),
                          idvar = "subject",
                          beepvar = "time",
                          groups = "group",
                          global = FALSE,
