lavaan Export
Export a fitted lavaan object to an external program.
lavExport(object, target = "lavaan", prefix = "sem", dir.name = "lavExport",
export = TRUE)object |
An object of class |
target |
The target program. Current options are |
prefix |
The prefix used to create the input files; the name of the input file has the pattern ‘prefix dot target dot in’; the name of the data file has the pattern ‘prefix dot target dot raw’. |
dir.name |
The directory name (including a full path) where the input files will be written. |
export |
If |
This function was mainly created to quickly generate an Mplus syntax file to
compare the results between Mplus and lavaan. The target "lavaan" can
be useful to create a full model syntax as needed for the lavaan()
function. More targets (perhaps for LISREL or EQS) will be added
in future releases.
If export = TRUE, a directory (called lavExport by default) will
be created, typically containing a data file, and an input file so that the
same analysis can be run using an external program. If export = FALSE, a
character string containing the model syntax only for the target program.
HS.model <- ' visual =~ x1 + x2 + x3
textual =~ x4 + x5 + x6
speed =~ x7 + x8 + x9 '
fit <- cfa(HS.model, data=HolzingerSwineford1939)
out <- lavExport(fit, target = "Mplus", export=FALSE)
