umxCLPM: Runs cross-lagged panel models

In umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Runs cross-lagged panel models

Description

One way of assessing causal relationships is by introducing time into the analyses. umxCLPM implements three cross-lagged panel models (CLPM) from the literature. The first is the classic CLPM from Heise (1969), the second is the CLPM from Hamaker et al. (2015), and the third is the CLPM from STARTS (1995). You simply pass the number of waves and the data set and the model you want to run.

Sketch mode is available, just do no pass data and you will be returned a model object to be manipulated later.

Usage

umxCLPM(
  waves,
  name = NULL,
  model = c("Hamaker2015", "Heise1969", "STARTS1995"),
  data = NULL,
  summary = !umx_set_silent(silent = TRUE),
  autoRun = getOption("umx_auto_run"),
  tryHard = c("no", "yes", "ordinal", "search")
)

Arguments

waves	Number of waves of data.
name	The name of the model (defaults to either "Heise1969", "Hamaker2015", or "STARTS1995").
model	Model type ("Hamaker2015", "Heise1969", or "STARTS1995")
data	Data frame for the analysis
summary	Optionally show a summary.
autoRun	Whether to run the model (default), or just to create it and return without running.
tryHard	Default ('no') uses normal mxRun. "yes" uses mxTryHard. Other options: "ordinal", "search"

Value

• mxModel()
