xmu_make_mxData: Upgrade a dataframe to an mxData type.

Description

xmu_make_mxData is an internal function to upgrade a dataframe to mxData. It can also drop variables and rows from the dataframe. The most common use will be to give it a dataframe, and get back an mxData object of type raw, cov, cor (WLS is just raw).

Usage

xmu_make_mxData(
  data = NULL,
  type = c("Auto", "FIML", "cov", "cor", "WLS", "DWLS", "ULS"),
  manifests = NULL,
  numObs = NULL,
  fullCovs = NULL,
  dropMissingDef = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

data

A data.frame() or mxData()

type

What data type is wanted out c("Auto", "FIML", "cov", "cor", 'WLS', 'DWLS', 'ULS')

manifests

If set, only these variables will be retained.

numObs

Only needed if you pass in a cov/cor matrix wanting this to be upgraded to mxData

fullCovs

Covariate names if any (NULL = none) These are checked by dropMissingDef

dropMissingDef

Whether to automatically drop missing def var rows for the user (default = TRUE). You get a polite note.

verbose

If verbose, report on columns kept and dropped (default FALSE)

Value

• mxData()
