Variable names for variables 10, 11, 12...

[Roy-Levy]

I am running a model with 13 observed variables and 4 classes in Mplus. My code is:

fitted.model<- data.for.analysis %>% estimate_profiles( n_profiles=4, models=2,
package = "MplusAutomation", DEFINE = "STANDARDIZE X1-X13;", keepfiles=TRUE
)

When I extract the parameter estimates, I noticed that the variable names for the 10th-13th variables do not match the variable names of the raw data. The 10th variable name appears to be the name of the first variable with a '0' appended. The 11th variable name appears to be the name of the first variable with a '1' appended.

Here are the names of my variables in the raw data: colnames(data.for.analysis) [1] "NBAA" "NBVA" "CeNmUp_I" "DgSpnW_I" "DgSpnR_I" "PlNWWW" "LcSpnW_I" "LcSpnR_I" "VsSpnW_I" "VsSpnR_I" [11] "BndPBSW" "BndVBW" "BndCmBW"

And here are the names of my variables in the estimated parameters (in the column called 'Parameter'): [1] "NBAA" "NBVA" "CeNmUp_I" "DgSpnW_I" "DgSpnR_I" "PlNWWW" "LcSpnW_I" "LcSpnR_I" "VsSpnW_I" "NBAA0"
[11] "NBAA1" "NBAA2" "NBAA3"

Notice that the 10th variable name is "NBAA0", the 11th is "NBAA1" and so on.

Gotcha. I'll fix this. Meanwhile, the results should be fine, but as you discovered, the labels are wrong.

This should be fixed in the latest version on my github; can you try to run:

devtools::install_github("cjvanlissa/tidyLPA")

And then re-run your code? You can replace DEFINE = "STANDARDIZE X1-X13;", with DEFINE = "STANDARDIZE NBAA-VsSpnR_I;"

Thanks for the fix. And my compliments on a fine R package.

okay to close this?
