Reproducibility
4 things are required to be able to rerun our code:
- TwinLife data: Must be requested from GESIS.
Alternatively you can run the tutorial code on the synthetic sample we
provide on our OSF project.
- CFT
20-R, German version norms: Means and SDs (Streuung) of “Teil-1 Max”
have to be manually extracted from the manual for age groups 11;1-11;6
through 60-64. The Normalised Manual IQ values presented in Table 2 in
the manuscript also have to be extracted.
- The census tables, which we provide on our OSF project.
- To ensure the code works as expected, it’s best to have the same
versions of R (4.2.2) and the packages we use. Since brms requires the
most work to set up, it’s best to start there. Follow this
walk-through for installing
brms on different operating
systems (take care to install the right version of RTools if you’re on
Windows!). Once you’ve done that, it’s probably safe to install the
proper versions of the of rest of the packages by running
renv::restore(). If renv::restore() fails to
install any of the packages, try remotes::install_version()
to install that specific version of the package and run
renv::restore() again.
Note that all code in our tutorial document can be executed based on
materials we provide on our OSF repository.
