Latent Variable Network Modeling

v0.3.5 · Jun 21, 2019 · GPL-2

Description

Estimate, fit and compare Structural Equation Models (SEM) and network models (Gaussian Graphical Models; GGM) using OpenMx. Allows for two possible generalizations to include GGMs in SEM: GGMs can be used between latent variables (latent network modeling; LNM) or between residuals (residual network modeling; RNM). For details, see Epskamp, Rhemtulla and Borsboom (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9557-x>.
