PsychoMatic 0.3.0
CRAN-Readiness
- Updated
DESCRIPTION with a more informative title,
description, DOI-backed methodological references, maintainer metadata,
VignetteBuilder, and LazyData.
- Reduced strong dependencies by moving report-only and
workflow-specific packages to
Suggests and loading them
conditionally.
- Regenerated English-facing manual pages for exported functions.
- Replaced the old
NEWS file with
NEWS.md.
- Added lightweight vignettes for EFA, CFA, measurement invariance,
and alignment invariance.
- Added small bundled datasets for reproducible examples:
psychomatic_continuous, psychomatic_ordinal,
and psychomatic_multigroup.
- Ensured examples, tests, and report exports use temporary files
where appropriate.
New Functions
- Added
screen_items() for item-quality screening.
- Added
reverse_items() for reverse scoring with explicit
or detected items.
- Added
score_scale() for mean/sum scale scores with
minimum valid-response rules and optional person-mean imputation.
- Added
psychomatic_report() for integrated Excel or Word
reports.
- Added
irt_auto() for basic Rasch, 2PL, and graded
response IRT workflows, including item-level interpretation, an overall
model summary, and APA 7 methodological references.
- Added
dif_auto() for lightweight logistic DIF screening
by group, with item-level interpretation, an overall DIF summary, and
APA 7 methodological references.
- Added
compare_models_auto() for comparing alternative
CFA models with fit-index-based recommendations and support for
WLSMV-style scaled indices.
Object Structure And
Summaries
- Added
summary() methods for efa_auto,
cfa_auto, and factorial_invariance_auto.
- Added more predictable structured tables to EFA, CFA, and invariance
result objects.
- Preserved bilingual output support through
language = "esp" and language = "eng" while
keeping the main documentation in English.
- Aligned
export_efa() with
psychomatic_report() so EFA exports use the same structured
reporting path as the rest of the package.
Refactoring
- Split large EFA and CFA files into focused helpers, methods,
exports, and summary utilities.
- Kept legacy Spanish aliases for backward compatibility, but
documented the English argument names as the recommended interface.
Testing
- Expanded tests for item screening, reverse scoring, scale scoring,
report export, IRT, DIF, CFA model comparison, datasets, summaries, and
error paths.
- Verified the release candidate with
R CMD check --as-cran.
