gesca (version 1.0.5)

latentmeasures: Means, Variances, and Correlations of Latent Variables

Description

The means and variances of latent variables and the correlations among the latent variables. In gesca 1.0, the individual scores of latent variables are calculated based on Fornell's (1992) approach.

Usage

latentmeasures(object)

Value

Numeric vectors of means and variances, and correlation matrices.

Arguments

object

An object of class. This can be created via the gesca.run function.

# Run a multiple-group GSCA with the grouping variable gender:
GSCA.group <- gesca.run(myModel, gesca.rick2, group.name = "gender", nbt=10)
# Note: bootstrap size is set to 10 for quick execution.
# For your actual analysis, make sure to use an adequate bootstrap sample size
# (e.g., n = 100 or 500) to obtain reliable results.
