esem_syntax

Create a model syntax for ESEM-with-CFA

A collection of functions developed to support the tutorial on using Exploratory Structural Equiation Modeling (ESEM) (Asparouhov & Muthén, 2009) <https://www.statmodel.com/download/EFACFA810.pdf>) with Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) dataset (Mohal et al., 2023) <doi:10.26193/QR4L6Q>.
The package uses 'tidyverse','psych', 'lavaan','semPlot' and provides additional functions to conduct ESEM.
The package provides general functions to complete ESEM, including esem_c(), creation of target matrix (if it is used) make_target(), generation of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) model syntax esem_cfa_syntax().
A sample data is provided - the package includes a sample data of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (SDQ LSAC) in sdq_lsac().
'ESEM' package vignette presents the tutorial demonstrating the use of ESEM on SDQ LSAC data.

esem_syntax function

<dl><dt>esem_efa_results</dt>
<dd>is a <cite>psych::fa()</cite> object with the results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA)
The object can be created using psych::fa() or a wrapper esem_efa() function</dd>
<dt>referent_list</dt>
<dd>is a list with latent variables (factors) and their corresponding referent items.
referent_list can be generated using create_referent() function.
If no referent_list is provided, the list is generated automatically</dd></dl>
