IntPar: Calculating internal parameters

Description

A function to compute internal parameters.

Usage

IntPar(rs, rie, modo, bv)

Arguments

rs

A binary matrix specifying the structural relationships between constructs.

rie

A binary matrix specifying nonlinear and interaction effects on the endogenous construct.

modo

A vector with the mode of each block of variables. "F" for formative measurement models or Mode B in PLS structural models.

bv

A vector with the number of manifest variables per construct.

Value

• A list with the following components:
• nat
  A vector with the nature of each construct, exogenous ("ex") or endogenous ("en").
• bex
  The number of exogenous constructs.
• ben
  The number of endogenous constructs.
• ind.ex
  The total number of manifest variables of exogenous constructs.
• ind.en
  The total number of manifest variables of endogenous constructs.
