This package contains an implementation of a the bootstrap test for underlying non-normality proposed by Foldnes and Gronneberg (Structural Equation Modeling, 2019). Also contains an adjusted polychoric estimator proposed by Gronneberg and Foldnes (Psychological Methods, 2022).
How to installYou can install:
the stable release on CRAN:
install.packages("discnorm")
the latest development version:
devtools::install_github("njaalf/discnorm")
The package offers function bootTest() which tests an ordinal data frame for underlying normality. A function catLSadj() is provided that computes the adjusted polychoric correlations based on user-provided non-normal marginals.
