lavaan_fit: Extract the Underlying lavaan Fit Object

In bifactory: (Bifactor) ESEM with Continuous (MLR) or Ordinal (WLSMV) Data

Extract the Underlying lavaan Fit Object

Description

Returns the raw lavaan object stored in x$lavaan_fit. For continuous ESEM/B-ESEM and method = "lavaan" ordered fits, this is the fitted model. For besem_ordered(method = "rotation") (and esem_ordered(method = "rotation")), it is often an auxiliary one-factor CFA used for DWLS weights only—see The lavaan_fit slot on custom WLSMV fits. Use lavaan::lavTestScore(), lavaan::lavInspect(), etc. only when that slot represents the model you intend to analyse.

Usage

lavaan_fit(x)

Arguments

x	An esem_fit object.

Value

A lavaan object.

Examples

data("HolzingerSwineford1939", package = "lavaan")
d <- HolzingerSwineford1939[, paste0("x", 1:9)]


fit <- esem(d, nfactors = 3)
lav <- lavaan_fit(fit)

# Inspect the underlying lavaan model
lavaan::lavInspect(lav, "cor.lv")   # factor correlations
lavaan::fitMeasures(lav, c("cfi", "rmsea"))
