umx_polychoric: FIML-based polychoric, polyserial, and Pearson correlations

Description

Compute polychoric/polyserial/Pearson correlations with FIML in OpenMx

Usage

umx_polychoric(
  data,
  useDeviations = TRUE,
  tryHard = c("no", "yes", "ordinal", "search")
)

Arguments

data

Dataframe

useDeviations

Whether to code the mode using deviation thresholds (default = TRUE)

tryHard

'no' uses normal mxRun (default), "yes" uses mxTryHard, and others used named versions: "mxTryHardOrdinal", "mxTryHardWideSearch"

Value

- list of output and diagnostics. matrix of correlations = $polychorics
