R Documentation

bifactorIndicesMplus_ESEM

Description

Computes all available bifactor indices given an Mplus .out file for a bifactor ESEM

Usage

bifactorIndicesMplus_ESEM(
  Lambda = file.choose(),
  ItemsBySF = NULL,
  LoadMin = 0.2
)

Arguments

`Lambda`	is an Mplus .out file. Defaults to an open file dialog box
`ItemsBySF`	is a list, indexed by factor, of vectors of item names belonging to each factor. You must NOT include the general factor in this list, and the list must have names which match the factor names in Mplus. Defaults to `NULL`, in which case composition of specific factors is automated by comparing loadings to `LoadMin`
`LoadMin`	is the minimum loading size so that an item is considered to "belong" to a factor. If `ItemsBySF` is not provided, then items are assigned to factors based on whether their loading on that factor is greater than `LoadMin`. If `ItemsBySF` is provided, then warnings are issued whenever items load above `LoadMin` on factors to which they do not belong, or do not load above `LoadMin` on factors to which they do belong,

Details

To use this function, simply call it without any arguments and a dialog box will pop up for you to select a .out file for an ESEM model.

Only standardized models are considered for exploratory models. PUC and ARPB are not supported for exploratory models currently, although that may change.
