pathCoin: Structural Equation Models Graphs.

In netCoin: Interactive Analytic Networks

Structural Equation Models Graphs.

Description

pathCoin produces a netCoin object from a lavaan object, i.e., parameters of structural equation model.

Usage

pathCoin(model, estimates=c("b","se","z","pvalue","beta"), 
         fitMeasures=c("chisq", "cfi", "rmsea"), ...)

Arguments

model	a lavaan object.
estimates	A vector with at least one element amongst "b", "se", "z", "pvalue", "beta".
fitMeasures	Default values: "chisq", "df", "pvalue", "cfi", "rmsea"
...	Any netCoin argument.

Value

The function creates a netCoin object and eventually a folder in the computer with an HTML document named index.html which contains the produced graph. This file can be directly opened with your browser and sent to a web server to work properly.
