ICED: IntraClass Effect Decomposition

This script is intended to highlight progress and functionality with the ICED package

generate syntax

The ICED_syntax() function takes a dataframe and generates the lavaan syntax to run the model (the first variable must be time). Here we save it to the syn object. The model will also be printed to the console. We are aiming to recreate the model from Brandmaier et al. (2018), Figure 4

                    session = c("ses1", "ses1","ses2", "ses3"))

simulate data

We’ll simulate data to run the ICED model on. The sim_ICED function takes the model structure dataframe we used earlier and a list of variances for each latent variable. The function returns several outputs, including the simulated data.

sim1 <- sim_ICED(struc,
                 variances = list(time = 10,
                                  day = 2,
                                  session = 1,
                                  error = 3),
                 n = 2000)

head(sim1$data)

we can also examine how well sim_ICED has recovered our variance parameters by setting check_recovery = TRUE. lets simulate two datasets, one large and another small.

sim2 <- sim_ICED(struc,
                 variances = list(time = 10,
                                  day = 2,
                                  session = 1,
                                  error = 3),
                 n = 2000,
                 check_recovery = TRUE)

str2cov

The sim_ICED function uses a helper function str2cov, which takes the same structure data.frame and the list of variances we specified earlier to generate the expected covariance of the model. This is then passed to mvrnorm to generate the data. e.g.

str2cov(struc,
        list(time = 10,
             day = 2,
             session = 1,
             error = 3),
        e_label = "error")

## T2 13 16 10 10
## T3 10 10 16 12
## T4 10 10 12 16

run_ICED

we can now run our model. The run_ICED function will print a bunch of relevant outputs. Note that the sim_ICED function returns a list of objects, so we need to specify the data part

                 data = sim1$data)

we can also bootstrap our estimates. The output now includes 95% CIs on the ICC and ICC2. Best to use more than 10 boots, but set to 10 for speed here

         data = sim1$data,
         boot = 10)

group comparisons

we can use iced_syntax to generate the syntax for multiple groups. The user can specify a number of groups or a vector of strings. Here we’ll also highlight that we can set the variances to be greater than zero also.

generating multiple group data takes a few more lines of code currently - but I plan to adapt this to take vectors within the lists.

variances_hi <- list(time = 8,
                  day = .25,
                  session = .2,
                  error = .25)

variances_lo <- list(time = 2,
                     day = .25,
                     session = .2,
                     error = .25)

sim_hi <- sim_ICED(structure = struc,
                 variances = variances_hi,
                 n = 100)$data

sim_lo <- sim_ICED(structure = struc,
                 variances = variances_lo,
                 n = 100)$data

sim_hi$group <- "high"
sim_lo$group <- "low"

sim_all <- rbind(sim_hi, sim_lo)

we can check the ICC reliability we have specified fairly easily, e.g. for the high group variances_hi$time / (sum(unlist(variances_hi))). For the high group ICC = 0.9195402, and the low group ICC = 0.7407407.

Then we can compare the groups (not currenly within run_ICED). Here, m0 is our base model constraining variances across groups, and m1 using the model we just generated to allow them to vary across groups.

m1 <- lavaan::lavaan(model = group_syntax,
               data = sim_all,
               group = "group")

m0 <- lavaan::lavaan(model = syn,
                     data = sim_all,
                     group = "group")
## Warning in lavaanify(model = FLAT, constraints = constraints, varTable = lavdata@ov, : lavaan WARNING: using a single label per parameter in a multiple group
##   setting implies imposing equality constraints across all the groups;
