mxBounds

Create MxBounds Object


Description

This function creates a new MxBounds object.

Usage

mxBounds(parameters, min = NA, max = NA)

Arguments

parameters

A character vector indicating the names of the parameters on which to apply bounds.

min

A numeric value for the lower bound. NA means use default value.

max

A numeric value for the upper bound. NA means use default value.

Details

Creates a set of boundaries or limits for a parameter or set of parameters. Parameters may be any free parameter or parameters from an MxMatrix object. Parameters may be referenced either by name or by referring to their position in the 'spec' matrix of an MxMatrix object.

Minima and maxima may be specified as scalar numeric values.

Value

Returns a new MxBounds object. If used as an argument in an MxModel object, the parameters referenced in the 'parameters' argument must also be included prior to optimization.

Examples

#Create lower and upper bounds for parameters 'A' and 'B'
bounds <- mxBounds(c('A', 'B'), 3, 5)

#Create a lower bound of zero for a set of variance parameters
varianceBounds <- mxBounds(c('Var1', 'Var2', 'Var3'), 0)
