emxMeans {EasyMx}

Create a set of means

Description

This function creates a means matrix as an MxMatrix or MxPath object.

Usage

emxMeans(x, values=0, free=TRUE, path=FALSE, type='saturated', name, column=TRUE, labels)

Arguments

x

character vector. The names of the variables for which means are created.

values

numeric vector. See Details.

free

logical vector. See Details.

path

logical. Whether to return the MxPath object instead of the MxMatrix.

type

character. The kind of covariance structure to create. See Details.

name

The name of the matrix created.

column

logical. Whether to create the means vector as a column or row.

labels

character vector. Optional labels for the means.

Details

Possible values for the type argument are 'saturated', 'equal', 'twin', 'special'.

Value

Depending on the value of the path argument, either an MxMatrix or and MxPath object that can be inspected, modified, and/or included in MxModel objects.
