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)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.
Returns updated values of n_paths and add_syntax.
