lavaan
models to RAM models
It converts models specified in lavaan
model syntax to RAM models.
lavaan2RAM(model, obs.variables = NULL, A.notation = "ON",
S.notation = "WITH", M.notation = "mean",
A.start=0.1, S.start=0.5, M.start=0,
auto.var = TRUE, std.lv = TRUE, ngroups = 1, ...)
model |
A character string of model using the lavaan model syntax. |
obs.variables |
A character vector of the observed variables. The
observed variables in the RAM specification will follow the order
specified in |
A.notation |
A character string to be used in the A matrix if the labels are not included in the lavaan model. For example, the label will be "yONx" for regressing "y" on "x". |
S.notation |
A character string to be used in the S matrix if the labels are not included in the lavaan model. For example, the label will be "yWITHx" for the covariance between "y" with "x" and "yWITHy" for the (error) variance of "y". |
M.notation |
A character string to be used in the M matrix if the labels
are not included in the lavaan model. For example, the label will be "ymean" for
the mean of "y" if |
A.start |
A numeric value of starting value for the |
S.start |
A numeric value of starting value for the |
M.start |
A numeric value of starting value for the |
auto.var |
Logical. If |
std.lv |
Logical. If |
ngroups |
Number. The number of groups in the |

Further arguments to be passed to |

is set at FALSE

It uses the model.syntax
to do the
conversion. Experimental: functions of parameters (':=' in lavaan) and
constraints ('==', '>', and '<' in lavaan) will be converted to
mxAlgebra and mxConstraint in OpenMx. As there are differences between
lavaan and OpenMx, they may not work properly.
