Bridge between regsem output and sempaths

Description

The package regsem (Jacobucci, 2017) is designed for a specific type of SEM called regularized structural equation modelling (RegSEM). For more information about RegSEM and the implementation in R we refer to the manual written by Jacobucci (2017).This function creates a bridge between the regsem and semplot packages, making it possible to use output from the regsem() and cv_regsem() functions to create models in sempaths.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'regsem'
semPlotModel(object,...)

Arguments

object	The regsem output
...	Arguments sent to 'lisrelModel', not used in other methods.

Value

A 'semPlotModel' object.

# plot the model
