Feature requests: partial correlation and search function

Post by hjkoz318 »

Hello,

I am an SPSS user now trying out Jamovi. And I found Jamovi really intuitive and helpful, thanks so much for providing this amazing tool!

But there are some features that I would love to see on this program:

1. Partial correlations: I know this could be done using the GAMLj, but sometimes, I want to check the correlations between several variables at once, controlling for covariates. I realize that to do this I need to go back to SPSS to check the correlation matrix table for partial correlations. So I think it would be really helpful if I can see the (partial) correlation matrix table in Jamovi as well.

2. Search function: I maybe missing this, but is there a search function that enables me to find a variable? In SPSS, I just do cmd + f to look up the variables, but I could not do this on Jamovi. It would be great if there's some search functions for variables when selecting the variables for analyzing.

Thanks so much!

Best,
Jin

The search function is something that is on our list.

Great! How about the partial correlations?

There is an experimental module on GitHub, you could try: https://github.com/sjentsch/PartialProximity

So far, it seems to do the job and works as intended. :-)

Hi, @SvenHeimbuch.
Thanks for reporting the link.
Built the module and tested it with jamovi v1.2.2 without problems.
This sounds good.

Cheers,
Maurizio

Hi @ SvenHeimbuch

How can I try to run your module in your github ? Could you tell me how to install your module in my computer?

Thanks in advance

Hi, this is not my module. It is provided by Sebastian Jentschke (https://github.com/sjentsch). To use the module, you have to compile it for yourself within R.

1. You need to clone the GitHub repository
2. In R, you need to install jmvtools

Code: Select all

install.packages('jmvtools', repos=c('https://repo.jamovi.org', 'https://cran.r-project.org'))
3. Switch to the downloaded repository in R and set it as working directory
4. jmvtools:install()

You might need additional dependencies to compile the module. This depends on your OS.

OK, I've been trying really hard to do this, because a lecturer in the Stats program I teach into really wants to do partial correlations if he's going to switch over from SPSS, and I need to convince him it's possible.

After many tries, I managed to get jmvtools installed. Then it said I needed a newer version of jamovi, so I downloaded 1.2.5. I have cloned the repository and changed to the correct working directory in R. However, I still cannot get it to compile.

Here's the relevant error message:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/lib/libR.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/jamovi.app/Contents/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/bin/../bin/exec/R

Thanks!

Deborah.

Dear Jonathon

I would like to learn how to compile R code into jamovi module.

so do you have a plan to make a short youtube video?

Cheers
