lavaan model functions

Description

Utility functions related to internal model representation (lavmodel)

Usage

# set/get free parameters
lav_model_set_parameters(lavmodel, x = NULL)
lav_model_get_parameters(lavmodel, glist = NULL, type = "free",
                         extra = TRUE, ...)

# compute model-implied statistics
lav_model_implied(lavmodel, glist = NULL, delta = TRUE, ...)

# compute standard errors
lav_model_vcov_se(lavmodel, lavpartable, vcov = NULL, boot = NULL,
                  mc = NULL, lavoptions = NULL, ...)

Arguments

lavmodel	An internal representation of a lavaan model.
x	Numeric. A vector containing the values of all the free model parameters.
glist	List. A list of model matrices, similar to the output of lavInspect(object, "est").
type	Character string. If "free", only return the free model parameters. If "user", return all the parameters (free and fixed) as they appear in the user-specified parameter table.
extra	Logical. If TRUE, also include values for rows in the parameter table where the operator is one of ":=", "==", "<" or ">".
delta	Logical. If TRUE, and a Delta matrix is present in GLIST, use the (diagonal) values of the Delta matrix to rescale the covariance matrix. This is usually needed in the categorical setting to convert covariances to correlations.
lavpartable	A parameter table.
vcov	Numeric matrix containing an estimate of the variance covariance matrix of the free model parameters.
boot	Numeric matrix containing the bootstrap based parameter estimates (in the columns) for each bootstrap sample (in the rows).
mc	Numeric matrix containing the Monte-Carlo based parameter estimates (in the columns) for each Monte-Carlo sample (in the rows).
lavoptions	A named list. The Options slot from a lavaan object.
...	To accept old argument names with dots or capitals. No other arguments are accepted.

Examples

HS.model <- ' visual  =~ x1 + x2 + x3
              textual =~ x4 + x5 + x6
              speed   =~ x7 + x8 + x9 '

fit <- cfa(HS.model, data=HolzingerSwineford1939)
lavmodel <- fit@Model

est <- lav_model_get_parameters(lavmodel)
