Visualizemi: Visualization, Effect Size, and Replication of Measurement Invariance for Registered Reports.

Latent variable modeling as a lens for psychometric theory is a popular tool for social scientists to examine measurement of constructs. Journals, such as regularly publish articles supporting measures of latent constructs wherein a measurement model is established. Confirmatory factor analysis can be used to investigate the replicability and generalizability of the measurement model in new samples, while multigroup confirmatory factor analysis is used to examine the measurement model across groups within samples. With the rise of the replication crisis and "psychology's renaissance," interest in divergence in measurement has increased, often focused on small parameter differences within the latent model. This article presents visualizemi, an package that provides functionality to calculate multigroup models, partial invariance, visualizations for (non)-invariance, effect sizes for models and parameters, and potential replication rates compared with random models. Readers will learn how to interpret the impact and size of the proposed non-invariance in models with a focus on potential replication and how to plan for registered reports.
