Worked analyses

Workflows.

Each of {EGAnet}'s core functions, worked through on real data with real output — on their own, and chained together into the full analysis path.

Core Workflow

Exploratory Graph AnalysisThe general workflow of Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA; Golino & Epskamp, 2017; Golino et al., 2020) should at minimum take the following order of analysis:

Deeper Dives

EGAEGA is the core function of the package: it estimates a network from your data and applies a community detection algorithm to recover the number of dimensions.
UVABefore a network is estimated at all, it's worth asking whether any items are redundant with one another — measuring such similar content that they behave more like duplicates than distinct variables.
bootEGAA single EGA result is one estimate from one sample.

Extending EGA

InvarianceAn EGA structure is only as useful as its comparability across the people you'd like to apply it to.
Hierarchical EGASome constructs aren't just multidimensional — they're multidimensional and organized under a broader, more general factor.
Dynamic EGAMost of {EGAnet} treats each row of data as one independent observation.
