This function computes a variety of fit measures to assess the global fit of a latent variable model.

An object of class lavaan.
If "all", all fit measures available will be
returned. If only a single or a few fit measures are specified by name,
only those are computed and returned.
If not NULL, an object of class
lavaan, representing a user-specified baseline model.
If a baseline model is provided, all fit indices relying on a
baseline model (eg. CFI or TLI) will use the test statistics from
this user-specified baseline model, instead of the default baseline model.
If not NULL, an object of class lavaan,
representing a user-specified alternative to the default unrestricted model.
If h1.model is provided, all fit indices calculated from chi-squared
will use the chi-squared difference test statistics from
lavTestLRT, which compare the user-provided h1.model
to object.
List. Additional options for certain fit measures. The
standard.test element determines the main test statistic (chi-square
value) that will be used to compute all the fit measures that depend on this
test statistic. Usually this is "standard". The scaled.test
element determines which scaling method is to be used for the scaled fit
measures (in case multiple scaling methods were requested). The
rmsea.ci.level element determines the level of the confidence
interval for the rmsea value. The rmsea.close.h0 element
is the rmsea value
that is used under the null hypothesis that rmsea <= rmsea.close.h0.
The rmsea.notclose.h0 element is the rmsea value that is used under the
null hypothesis that rsmsea >= rmsea.notclose.h0. The robust
element can be set to FALSE to avoid computing the so-called robust
rmsea/cfi measures (for example if the computations take too long).
The cat.check.pd element is only used when data is categorical. If
TRUE, robust values for RMSEA and CFI are only computed if the input
correlation matrix is positive-definite (for all groups).
Character. If "vector" (the default), display the
output as a named (lavaan-formatted) vector. If "matrix", display
the output as a 1-column matrix. If "text", display the
output using subsections and verbose descriptions. The latter is used
in the summary output, and does not print the chi-square test by default.
In addition, fit.measures should contain the main ingredient
(for example "rmsea") if related fit measures are requested
(for example "rmsea.ci.lower"). Otherwise, nothing will be
printed in that section.
See the examples how to add the chi-square test in the text output.
Further arguments passed to or from other methods. Not currently
used for lavaan objects.
