higher_composite: higher_composite

Description

higher_composite creates a higher order construct from first order constructs using the two-stage method (Becker et al., 2012).

Usage

higher_composite(construct_name, dimensions, method, weights)

Arguments

construct_name

of second order construct

dimensions

the first order constructs

method

is the estimation method, default is two_stage

weights

is the relationship between the second order construct and first order constructs. This can be specified as correlation_weights or mode_A for correlation weights (Mode A) or as regression_weights or mode_B for regression weights (Mode B). Default is correlation weights.

Details

This function conveniently maps first order constructs onto second order constructs using construct names.
