saturateMx: Analyzing data using a saturate model

Description

Analyzing data using a saturate model by full-information maximum likelihood. In the saturate model, all means and covariances are free if items are continuous. For ordinal variables, their means are fixed as 0 and their variances are fixed as 1--their covariances and thresholds are estimated. In multiple-group model, all means are variances are separately estimated.

Usage

saturateMx(data, groupLab = NULL)

Arguments

data

The target data frame

groupLab

The name of grouping variable

Value

• The MxModel object which contains the analysis result of the saturate model.
