About

Maintained by Olivier Percie du SertFirst published 2025-02-031 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provide a suite of functions for conducting and automating Latent Growth Modeling (LGM) in 'Mplus', including Growth Curve Model (GCM), Growth-Based Trajectory Model (GBTM) and Latent Class Growth Analysis (LCGA). The package builds upon the capabilities of the 'MplusAutomation' package (Hallquist & Wiley, 2018) to streamline large-scale latent variable analyses. “MplusAutomation: An R Package for Facilitating Large-Scale Latent Variable Analyses in Mplus.” Structural Equation Modeling, 25(4), 621–638. doi:10.1080/10705511.2017.1402334 The workflow implemented in this package follows the recommendations outlined in Van Der Nest et al. (2020). “An Overview of Mixture Modeling for Latent Evolutions in Longitudinal Data: Modeling Approaches, Fit Statistics, and Software.” Advances in Life Course Research, 43, Article 100323. doi:10.1016/j.alcr.2019.100323.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("MplusLGM", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("OlivierPDS/MplusLGM")

Development version from OlivierPDS/MplusLGM. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mpluslgm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-MplusLGM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MplusLGM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
