super.matrix: Form a super matrix from two sub matrices.

Description

Given the matrices nXm, and jYk, form the super matrix of dimensions (n+j) and (m+k) with with elements x and y along the super diagonal. Useful when considering structural equations. The measurement models x and y can be combined into a larger measurement model of all of the variables.

Usage

super.matrix(x, y)

Arguments

x

A n x m matrix

y

A j x k matrix

Value

• A (n+j) x (m +k) matrix with appropriate row and column names
