Fit Measures By Models

Description

Groups fit measures into a table with models as columns.

Usage

fitMeasures_by_models(object_list, ...)

Arguments

object_list

A named list of lavaan objects.

...

Optional arguments to be passed to lavaan::fitMeasures().

Details

It call lavaan::fitMeasures() to compute for each model the fit measures supported by lavaan, and combine them into a data frame. Users can then use the print method (print.fit_by_models()) to customize the printout.

To be consist with full lavaan output, the names used in lavaan::fitMeasures() are used.

This function is intended for a simple and compact table of fit measures for quick preview. For a well-organized layout, call lavaan::fitMeasures() and set output to "text".

Value

A data-frame-like object of the class fit_by_models, which has a print method (see print.fit_by_models()).
