I can't figure out how to selectively print values in a table above or below some value. What I'm looking for is known as "cut" in Revelle's psych package. MWE below.
library("psych")
library("psychTools")
derp <- fa(ability, nfactors=3)
print(derp, cut=0.5) #removes all loadings smaller than 0.5
derp <- print(derp, cut=0.5) #apa_table still doesn't print like this
Question is, how do I add that cut to an apa_table? Printing apa_table(derp) prints the entire table, including all values.
The print
-method from psych
does not return the formatted loadings but only the table of variance accounted for. You can, however, get the result you want by manually formatting the loadings table:
library("psych")
library("psychTools")
derp <- fa(ability, nfactors=3)
# Class `loadings` cannot be coerced to data.frame or matrix
class(derp$Structure)
[1] "loadings"
# Class `matrix` is supported by apa_table()
derp_loadings <- unclass(derp$Structure)
class(derp_loadings)
[1] "matrix"
# Remove values below "cut"
derp_loadings[derp_loadings < 0.5] <- NA
colnames(derp_loadings) <- paste("Factor", 1:3)
apa_table(
derp_loadings
, caption = "Factor loadings"
, added_stub_head = "Item"
, format = "pandoc" # Omit this in your R Markdown document
, format.args = list(na_string = "") # Don't print NA
)
*Factor loadings*
Item Factor 1 Factor 2 Factor 3
