umxDiagnose: Diagnose problems in a model - not working!

In tbates/umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Diagnose problems in a model - not working!

Description

The goal of this function WILL BE (not currently functional) to diagnose problems in a model and return suggestions to the user. It is a work in progress, and of no use as yet.

Usage

umxDiagnose(model, tryHard = FALSE, diagonalizeExpCov = FALSE)

Arguments

model	an OpenMx::mxModel() to diagnose
tryHard	whether I should try and fix it? (defaults to FALSE)
diagonalizeExpCov	Whether to diagonalize the ExpCov

Details

Best diagnostics are:

1. Observed data variances and means

2. Expected variances and means

3. Difference of these?

Try * diagonalizeExpCov diagonal * umx_is_ordered()

Tricky, but reporting variances and standardized thresholds is ideal. Guidance is to start with unit variances and thresholds within +/- 2 SD of the mean. Like %p option in Classic Mx.

Value

• helpful messages and perhaps a modified model

Examples

## Not run: 
require(umx)
data(demoOneFactor)
manifests = names(demoOneFactor)

m1 = umxRAM("OneFactor", data = demoOneFactor, type= "cov",
	umxPath("G", to = manifests),
	umxPath(var = manifests),
	umxPath(var = "G", fixedAt = 1)
)
m1 = mxRun(m1)
umxSummary(m1, std = TRUE)
umxDiagnose(m1)

## End(Not run)
