getExtraOutput: Get extra outputs from the result of simulation

In simsem: SIMulated Structural Equation Modeling

Description

Get extra outputs from a simulation result object (SimResult). Users can ask this package to extra output from the lavaan object in each iteration by setting the outfun argument (in the sim function). See the example below.

Usage

getExtraOutput(object, improper = TRUE, nonconverged = FALSE)

Arguments

object	SimResult that have the extra output extracted by the function defined in the outfun argument (in the sim function)
improper	Specify whether to include the information from the replications with improper solutions
nonconverged	Specify whether to include the information from the nonconvergent replications

Value

A list of extra outputs

Examples

## Not run: 
loading <- matrix(0, 6, 1)
loading[1:6, 1] <- NA
LY <- bind(loading, 0.7)
RPS <- binds(diag(1))
RTE <- binds(diag(6))
CFA.Model <- model(LY = LY, RPS = RPS, RTE = RTE, modelType="CFA")

# Write a function to extract the modification index from lavaan object
outfun <- function(out) {
	result <- inspect(out, "mi")
}

# We will use only 5 replications to save time.
# In reality, more replications are needed.
Output <- sim(5, n=200, model=CFA.Model, outfun=outfun)

# Get the modification index of each replication
getExtraOutput(Output)

## End(Not run)
