Estimation latent interactions through Mplus

Description

Estimation latent interactions through Mplus

Usage

modsem_mplus(
  model.syntax,
  data,
  estimator = "ml",
  type = "random",
  cluster = NULL,
  algorithm = "integration",
  processors = 2,
  integration = 15,
  rcs = FALSE,
  rcs.choose = NULL,
  rcs.scale.corrected = TRUE,
  output.std = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

model.syntax	lavaan/modsem syntax
data	dataset
estimator	estimator argument passed to Mplus.
type	type argument passed to Mplus.
cluster	cluster argument passed to Mplus.
algorithm	algorithm argument passed to Mplus.
processors	processors argument passed to Mplus.
integration	integration argument passed to Mplus.
rcs	Should latent variable indicators be replaced with reliability-corrected single item indicators instead? See relcorr_single_item.
rcs.choose	Which latent variables should get their indicators replaced with reliability-corrected single items? It is passed to relcorr_single_item as the choose argument.
rcs.scale.corrected	Should reliability-corrected items be scale-corrected? If TRUE reliability-corrected single items are corrected for differences in factor loadings between the items. Default is TRUE.
output.std	Should STANDARDIZED be added to OUTPUT?
...	arguments passed to other functions

Value

modsem_mplus object

Examples

# Theory Of Planned Behavior
m1 <- '
# Outer Model
  X =~ x1 + x2
  Z =~ z1 + z2
  Y =~ y1 + y2

# Inner model
  Y ~ X + Z + X:Z
'

## Not run: 
# Check if Mplus is installed

                error = \(e) FALSE)

if (run) {
  est_mplus <- modsem_mplus(m1, data = oneInt)
  summary(est_mplus)
}
