Utilizes the Reliability-Adjusted Product Indicator (RAPI) method to estimate effects among latent variables, thus allowing for more precise definition and analysis of mediation and moderation models. Our simulation studies reveal that while 'silp' may exhibit instability with smaller sample sizes and lower reliability scores (e.g., N = 100, 'omega' = 0.7), implementing nearest positive definite matrix correction and bootstrap confidence interval estimation can significantly ameliorate this volatility. When these adjustments are applied, 'silp' achieves estimations akin in quality to those derived from LMS. In conclusion, the 'silp' package is a valuable tool for researchers seeking to explore complex relational structures between variables without resorting to commercial software.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("silp", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("TomBJJJ/silp")

Development version from TomBJJJ/silp. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-silp

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-silp

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-silp

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
