estimate_profiles_mplus2: Estimate latent profiles using Mplus

In tidyLPA: Easily Carry Out Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) Using Open-Source or Commercial Software

Description

Estimates latent profiles (finite mixture models) using the commercial program Mplus, through the R-interface of MplusAutomation.

Usage

estimate_profiles_mplus2(
  df,
  n_profiles,
  model_numbers,
  select_vars,
  ...,
  keepfiles = FALSE
)

Arguments

df	data.frame with two or more columns with continuous variables
n_profiles	Numeric vector. The number of profiles (or mixture components) to be estimated. Each number in the vector corresponds to an analysis with that many mixture components.
model_numbers	Numeric vector. Numbers of the models to be estimated. See estimate_profiles for a description of the models available in tidyLPA.
select_vars	Character. Optional vector of variable names in df, to be used for model estimation. Defaults to NULL, which means all variables in df are used.
...	Parameters passed directly to mplusModeler. See the documentation of mplusModeler.
keepfiles	Logical. Whether to retain the files created by mplusModeler (e.g., for future reference, or to manually edit them).
