SimEqualCon-class: Class "SimEqualCon"

Description

Set of specified equality constraints

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by simEqualCon. Also, it can be called of the form new("SimEqualCon", ...).

Details

The Equality slot contains list of equality constraint. Each element in the list is an individual equality constraint saved in a matrix. Each row represents each element. If the matrix has two columns, the first column indicates row of the element and the second column indicates column of the element. If the matrix has three columns, the first column is the group of matrix. The rest is row and column. Row name represents the matrix that the element is in. The definition of row name can be seen in simSetCFA, simSetPath, or simSetSEM, depending on analysis model you specify.
