| Title: | Response Surface Analysis |
|---|---|
| Description: | Advanced response surface analysis. The main function RSA computes and compares several nested polynomial regression models (full second- or third-order polynomial, shifted and rotated squared difference model, rising ridge surfaces, basic squared difference model, asymmetric or level-dependent congruence effect models). The package provides plotting functions for 3d wireframe surfaces, interactive 3d plots, and contour plots. Calculates many surface parameters (a1 to a5, principal axes, stationary point, eigenvalues) and provides standard, robust, or bootstrapped standard errors and confidence intervals for them. |

Show a table of AIC model comparisons

x |
An RSA object |
plot |
Should a plot of the AICc table be plotted? |
bw |
Should the plot be black & white? |
models |
A vector with all model names of the candidate set. Defaults to all polynomial models in the RSA object. |
digits |
The output is rounded to this number of digits. No rounding if NA (default). |
Model names.
Number of estimated parameters (including the intercept, residual variance, and, if present in the model, control variables).
Model log-likelihood.
Akaike Information Criterion (corrected).
Difference in AICc between this model and the best model.
The Akaike weights, also termed "model probabilities" by Burnham and Anderson (2002). Indicates the level of support (i.e., weight of evidence) of a model being the most parsimonious among the candidate model set.
Cumulative Akaike weight. One possible strategy is to restrict interpretation to the "confidence set" of models, that is, discard models with a Cum.Wt > .95 (see Burnham & Anderson, 2002, for details and alternatives).
Likelihood ratio of this model vs. the best model.
Comparative Fit Index (CFI).
Coefficient of determination (R-squared).
Adjusted R-squared.
Only provided if the model contains control variables. Difference in R-squared as compared to the baseline model with intercept and control variables (= the model "null"). This R^2 increment will typically be of interest because it refers to the amount of variance explained by the two predictors X and Y (plus their squared and interaction terms) in the RSA model.
Only provided if the model contains control variables. p-value for the F-test of the model against the baseline model.
This function is similar to the function aictab in the AICcmodavg package.

Identify data points behind E2 and test how many of them have outcome predictions that significantly differ from predictions for predictor combinations on E2 (that have the same level)
caRange( object, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE, model = "CA", alphacorrection = "none" )caRange( object, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE, model = "CA", alphacorrection = "none" )
object |
An RSA object |
alpha |
Alpha level for the one-sided confidence interval of the outcome predictions on E2 |
verbose |
Should extra information be printed? |
model |
Either "CA" or "RRCA" |
alphacorrection |
Set "Bonferroni" to adjust the alpha level for multiple testing when testing the outcome predictions of all data points behind E2 |
When testing an asymmetric congruence hypothesis with the CA or RRCA model, the caRange function helps to determine whether the hypothesis is supported for the whole range of realistic predictor combinations. It computes the position of the second extremum line E2 and tests how many predictor combinations are in the data which lie "behind" this line and, at the same time, have a significantly different outcome prediction than points on E2.
When plotting the estimated model (CA or RRCA) with plot, you can plot the line E2 and the surface above this line by calling "E2" in the options project and axes.

Compute the regions of significance and test their intersection with the data
clRange(object, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE, model = "CL")clRange(object, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE, model = "CL")
object |
An RSA object |
alpha |
Alpha level for the regions of significance of the surface's curvature |
verbose |
Should extra information be printed? |
model |
Either "CL" or "RRCL" |
When testing a level-dependent congruence hypothesis with the CL or RRCL model, the clRange function helps to determine whether the hypothesis is supported for the whole range of realistic predictor combinations. It computes the mean predictor levels k1 and k2 at which the curvature of the surface changes its significance status. For each of the resulting intervals, the function informs whether the curvature is significantly negative, nonsignificant, or significantly positive in the respective interval.
When plotting the estimated model (CL or RRCL) with plot, you can plot the lines at which the significance status of the curvature changes and the surface above these lines by calling "K1" and "K2" in the options project and axes.

You must take care yourself that the compared models are nested! There is no automatic check, so you could, in principle, compare non-nested models. This is valid for AIC, BIC, CFI, and R2 indices, but *not* for the chi2-LR test!

R |
If |
There are two ways of getting bootstrapped CIs and p-values in the RSA package If you use the option se="boot" in the RSA function, lavaan provides CIs and p-values based on the bootstrapped standard error (not percentile bootstraps). If you use confint(..., method="boot"), in contrast, you get CIs and p-values based on percentile bootstrap.

A data frame with 84 rows and 3 variables
ePow Explicit power motive, measured with a questionnaire (Unified Motive Scales, Schönbrodt & Gerstenberg, 2012). Raw values have been z standardized.
iPow Implicit power motive, measure with picture story exercise (6 pictures). Raw motive scores have been controlled for word count and z standardized
postVA z standardized valence rating after the speech (‘How did you feel during the speech’). Consists of two bipolar items from the PANAVA questionnaire (Schallberger, 2005): ‘zufrieden ... unzufrieden’ (satisfied ... unsatisfied) and ‘ungluecklich ... gluecklich’ (unhappy ... happy).

frames is a list of the first, intermediate, and the final parameters of the surface. Each scalar parameter defined in frames is interpolated between steps in order to create a smooth sequence of plots. Logical and character parameters are inherited from the first frame. Plots are saved as individual still pictures in a subfolder called name and finally glued together using ffmpeg. Hence, a ffmpeg installation is needed to create the movie (the still pictures can be produced without ffmpeg).

Each plot type has its distinctive advantages. The two-dimensional contour plot gives a clear view of the position of the principal axes and the stationary point. The 3d plot gives a three dimensional impression of the surface, allows overplotting of the original data points (in case an RSA object is provided), and allows the interactive adjustment of regression weights in the RSA function. The interactive plot allows rotating and exploring a three-dimensional surface with the mouse (nice for demonstration purposes).

formula |
A formula in the form |
data |
A data frame with the variables |
center |
Method for centering the predictor variables before the analysis. Default option ("none") applies no centering. "pooled" centers the predictor variables on their pooled sample mean, which preserves the commensurability of the predictor scales. "variablewise" centers the predictor variables on their respective sample mean. You should think carefully before applying the "variablewise" option, as centering the predictor variables at different values (e.g., their respective means) can affect the commensurability of the predictor scales. |
scale |
Method for scaling the predictor variables before the analysis. Default option ("none") applies no scaling. "pooled" scales the predictor variables on their pooled sample SD, which preserves the commensurability of the predictor scales. "variablewise" scales the predictor variables on their respective sample SD. You should think carefully before applying the "variablewise" option, as scaling the predictor variables at different values (e.g., their respective SDs) can affect the commensurability of the predictor scales. |
na.rm |
Remove missings before proceeding? |
out.rm |
Should outliers according to Bollen & Jackman (1980) criteria be excluded from the analyses? In large data sets this analysis is the speed bottleneck. If you are sure that no outliers exist, set this option to FALSE for speed improvements. |
breakline |
Should the breakline in the unconstrained absolute difference model be allowed (the breakline is possible from the model formulation, but empirically rather unrealistic ...). Defaults to |
models |
A vector with names of all models that should be computed. Should be any from |
cubic |
Should the cubic models with the additional terms Y^3, XY^2, YX^2, and X^3 be included? |
verbose |
Should additional information during the computation process be printed? |
add |
Additional syntax that is added to the lavaan model. Can contain, for example, additional constraints, like "p01 == 0; p11 == 0" |
estimator |
Type of estimator that should be used by lavaan. Defaults to "MLR", which provides robust standard errors, a robust scaled test statistic, and can handle missing values. If you want to reproduce standard OLS estimates, use |
se |
Type of standard errors. This parameter gets passed through to the |
missing |
Handling of missing values (this parameter is passed to the |
control.variables |
A string vector with variable names from |

Should the control variables be centered before analyses? This can improve interpretability of the intercept, which will then reflect the predicted outcome value at the point (X,Y)=(0,0) when all control variables take their respective average values. |

Even if the main variables of the model are normally distributed, their squared terms and interaction terms are necessarily non-normal. By default, the RSA function uses a scaled test statistic (test="Satorra-Bentler") and robust standard errors (se="robust"), which are robust against violations of the normality assumption.
Why does my standard polynomial regression give different p-values and SEs than the RSA package? Shouldn't they be the same? This is due to the robust standard errors employed in the RSA package. If you set estimator="ML" and se="standard", you get p-values that are very close to the standard approach. (They might still not be identical because the standard regression approach usually uses an OLS estimator and RSA uses an ML estimator).
Experimental feature (use with caution!): You can also fit binary outcome variables with a probit link function. For that purpose, the response variable has to be defined as "ordered", and the lavaan estimator changed to "WLSMV": r1.binary <- RSA(z.binary~x*y, df, ordered="z.binary", estimator="WLSMV", model="full") (for more details see the help file of the sem function in the lavaan package.). The results can also be plotted with probabilities on the z axis using the probit link function: plot(r1.binary, link="probit", zlim=c(0, 1), zlab="Probability"). For plotting, the binary outcome variable must be coded with 0 and 1 (not as a factor).
lavaan at the moment only supports a probit link function for binary outcomes, not a logit link. Please be aware that this experimental feature can fit the full model, but most other functions (such as model comparisons) might break and errors might show up.
For explanations of the meaning of the various different models that can be estimated, please see Schönbrodt (2016) for the second-order models (i.e., all models but "CA", "RRCA", "CL", "RRCL") and Humberg et al. (in press) for the third-order (cubic) models ("CA", "RRCA", "CL", "RRCL").
For most of the second-order models, several auxiliary parameters are computed from the estimated model coefficients (e.g., a1, ..., a5, p10, p11, p20, p21) and printed in the summary output. They can be used to guide interpretation by means of response surface methodology. Some references that explain how to use these parameters for interpretation are Edwards (2002; comprehensive overview of response surface methodology), Humberg et al. (2019; interpretation of a1, a2, a3, a4, p10, and p11, and how to use them to investigate congruence effects), Nestler et al. (2019; interpretation of a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5, and how to use them to investigate congruence effects, see in particular Appendix A for the introduction of a5), and Schönbrodt et al. (2018; interpretation of a1, ..., a5, see in particular Appendix A for a5).
The print function provides descriptive statistics about discrepancies in the predictors (with respect to numerical congruence). A cutpoint of |delta z| > 0.5 is used. The computation generally follows the idea of Shannock et al (2010) and Fleenor et al. (1996). However, in contrast to them, we standardize to the common mean and the common SD of both predictor variables. Otherwise we would break commensurability, and a person who has x=y in the unstandardized variable could become incongruent after variable-wise standardization. See also our discussion of commensurability and scale transformation in the cubic RSA paper (Humberg et al., in press; see pp. 35 - 37 in the preprint at https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/v6m35).
