Compute covariance or correlation matrix with treatments for clusters and missing values
cor_nest(.data, ..., cluster = NULL, missing = "fiml", ordered = FALSE, pvalue = FALSE)cov_nest(.data, ..., cluster = NULL, missing = "fiml", ordered = FALSE, pvalue = FALSE)
A list of class "covnest"
a data frame, a numeric matrix.
further arguments.
a variable name defining the clusters in a two-level dataset in the data frame.
treatment to deal with missing values. Options are "listwise"
or "pairwise"
. Default if "fiml"
.
a character vector identifying which variables have an ordered (ordinal) scale. If TRUE
, all observed endogenous variables are treated as ordered (ordinal). If FALSE
, all observed endogenous variables are considered to be numeric
an argument to indicate if \(p\)-values are required.
A quick adaptation of the lavaan package (Rosseel, 2012) to estimate a covariance or correlation matrix with missing values, hierachical strcutures and ordinal scales.
