lavaan objects #25

Closed cjpatster12 closed 2 weeks ago

cjpatster12 commented 1 month ago

I'm trying to convert the fitted tetrad object into an object compatible with functions in the R lavaan library, as described in the documentation, but instructions are vague and the function $get_lavaan() doesn't seem to work, or at least doesn't work in an intuitive way.

What does $get_lavaan() do? Can you provide brief documentation/example and confirm that its working correctly?

This could easily be user error on my part and I'd like to rule that out first. If not, there may be a small error in the supporting code for the function.

Thank you for your time, Chris

Hi Chris,

That method should return a string for a SEM in the format used by Lavaan. I am not very familiar with Lavaan, but I know it has several methods that take a string as input to create a parametric SEM. The get_lavaan function should create and return such a string.

Best, Bryan
