lav_data: lavaan data functions

Description

Utility functions related to the Data slot

Usage

# update data slot with new data (of the same size)
lav_data_update(lavdata = NULL, new_x = NULL, boot_idx = NULL, boot_clus = NULL,
                lavoptions = NULL, ...)

Arguments

lavdata

A lavdata object.

new_x

A list of (new) data matrices (per group) of the same size. They replace the data stored in the internal data slot.

boot_idx

A list of integers. If bootstrapping was used to produce the data in newX, use these indices to adapt the remaining slots.

boot_clus

A list of integer matrices (per group), or NULL. For a cluster bootstrap of two-level data, the (relabeled) cluster ids of the resampled rows, used to adapt the multilevel (Lp) slots.

lavoptions

A named list. The Options slot from a lavaan object.

...

To accept old argument names with dots or capitals. No other arguments are accepted.

Examples

# generate syntax for an independence model
HS.model <- ' visual  =~ x1 + x2 + x3
              textual =~ x4 + x5 + x6
              speed   =~ x7 + x8 + x9 '

fit <- cfa(HS.model, data=HolzingerSwineford1939)

# extract data slot and options
lavdata <- fit@Data
lavoptions <- lavInspect(fit, "options")

# create bootstrap sample
boot.idx <- sample(x = nobs(fit), size = nobs(fit), replace = TRUE)
newX <- list(lavdata@X[[1]][boot.idx,])

# generate update lavdata object
newdata <- lav_data_update(lavdata = lavdata, new_x = newX,
                           lavoptions = lavoptions)
