A function for extracting the empirical estimating functions of a fitted
lavaan model. This is the derivative of the objective function
with respect to the parameter vector, evaluated at the observed (case-wise)
data. In other words, this function returns the case-wise scores, evaluated
at the fitted model parameters.
Usage
estfun.lavaan(object, scaling = FALSE)
Arguments
object
An object of class lavaan.
scaling
If TRUE, the scores are scaled to reflect the specific
objective function used by lavaan. If FALSE (the default), the
objective function is the loglikelihood function assuming multivariate
normality.
Value
A n x k matrix corresponding to n observations and k parameters.
