Launch the dySEM Interactive Scripter

Opens a Shiny application that guides researchers through selecting a dyadic model, configuring invariance constraints and variable naming patterns, previewing a path diagram, and generating the corresponding lavaan syntax.

Usage

launchScripter(launch.browser = TRUE)

Arguments

launch.browser

Logical; if TRUE (the default), the app opens in the system's default web browser. Set to FALSE to use the RStudio viewer pane instead.

Value

Called for its side effect (launching the app). Returns the value from runApp invisibly.

Details

The app supports uni-construct (unidimensional, correlated, hierarchical, bifactor), bi-construct (L-APIM, Common Fate, Mutual Influence, Two-Construct), and multi-construct (multiple correlated factors) models.

No data upload is required. The app constructs variable names from naming patterns you specify, generates lavaan syntax via dySEM scripters, and provides a path diagram preview, copy-to-clipboard, download, and reproducible R code.

Requires the shiny, bslib, and shinyjs packages (listed in Suggests).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
launchScripter()
} # }
