wprifm: Within-Person Random Intercept Factor Model

Description

Within-Person Random Intercept Factor Model

Usage

wprifm(data, scale = FALSE, save_model = FALSE)

Arguments

data

Data.frame containing the manifest variables.

scale

Should the data be scaled? Default = FALSE

save_model

Should the temporary lavaan model syntax be saved. Default = FALSE

Value

an object of class lavaan

Details

This function performs the within-person random intercept factor model described in Davison, Kim, and Close (2009). For information about this model, please see this reference. This function returns an object of lavaan class and thus any generics defined for lavaan will work on this object. This function provides a simple wrapper for lavaan.
