miivefa {MIIVefa}

Exploratory Factor Analysis Using Model Implied Instrumental Variables.

Description

This function is the user-level function that conducts miivefa.

Usage

miivefa(data,
       sigLevel = .05,
       scalingCrit = "sargan+factorloading_R2",
       correlatedErrors = NULL)

Arguments

data

A data frame, list or environment or an object coercible by as.data.frame to data frame. The most common application is to supply a data.frame.

sigLevel

The significance level threshold, default is .05.

scalingCrit

The criterion used to select the scaling indicators, default is 'factorloading_R2.' More details see select_scalingind

correlatedErrors

The pairs of variables whose errors should be correlated in the model search procedure, default is NULL.

Value

A miivefa object containing a vector of the recovered model syntax, and a miivsem object of model fit of the recovered model when applicable. The recovered model syntax and miivsem fit object can be accessed using output$model and output$fit. The output$model miivsem object contains both parameter estimation and model fit information.
