run_mx {tidySEM}

Run as OpenMx model with sensible defaults

Description

This convenience function runs objects for which a method exists using OpenMx, with sensible defaults. It is intended for use with tidySEM. For instance, it will convert a tidySEM object to a mxModel and run it, and it will try to ensure convergence for mixture models created using mx_mixture. Knowledgeable users may want to run models manually.

Usage

run_mx(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object for which a method exists.

...

Parameters passed on to other functions.

Value

Returns an mxModel with free parameters updated to their final values.

Examples

df <- iris[1:3]
names(df) <- paste0("X_", 1:3)
run_mx(measurement(tidy_sem(df), meanstructure = TRUE))
