simsem (version 0.5-17)

getExtraOutput: Get extra outputs from the result of simulation

Description

Get extra outputs from a simulation result object (SimResult). Users can ask this package to extra output from the lavaan-class object in each iteration by setting the outfun argument (in the sim function). See the example below.

Usage

getExtraOutput(object, improper = TRUE, nonconverged = FALSE,
               simplify = FALSE, USE.NAMES = FALSE)

Value

A list of extra outputs, optionally simplified to a vector or matrix.

Arguments

object

SimResult that have the extra output extracted by the function defined in the outfun argument (in the sim function)

improper

Specify whether to include the information from the replications with improper solutions

nonconverged

Specify whether to include the information from the nonconvergent replications

simplify, USE.NAMES

See sapply

Examples

if (FALSE) {
loading <- matrix(0, 6, 1)
loading[1:6, 1] <- NA
LY <- bind(loading, 0.7)
RPS <- binds(diag(1))
RTE <- binds(diag(6))
CFA.Model <- model(LY = LY, RPS = RPS, RTE = RTE, modelType="CFA")

# Write a function to extract the modification index from lavaan object
outfun <- function(out) {
	result <- inspect(out, "mi")
}

# We will use only 5 replications to save time.
# In reality, more replications are needed.
Output <- sim(5, n=200, model=CFA.Model, outfun=outfun)

# Get the modification index of each replication
getExtraOutput(Output)
