Extract LISREL matrices from lisrel object.

Description

This function can be used to extract matrices from the output of readLisrel.

Usage

lisrelMatrix(object, matrix, group = 1, type = "est")

Arguments

object

A "lisrel" object obtained by readLisrel.

matrix

Specification of the matrix to be extracted. See details.

group

An integer specifying which group the matrix should be extracted from.

type

Specification of the type of matrix to be extracted.

Details

LisrelToR uses the following names for the model matrices:

LY

Lambda-Y matrix.

PS

Psi matrix.

BE

Beta matrix.

TE

Theta-Epsilon matrix.

TY

Tau-Y matrix.

AL

Alpha matrix.

LX

Lambda-X matrix.

PH

Phi matrix.

GA

Gamma matrix.

TD

Theta-Delta matrix.

TX

Tau-X matrix.

KA

Kappa

ObsCovs

The observed covariance matrix, or a list of such matrices for each group.

ImpCovs

The implied covariance matrix, or a list of such matrices for each group.

Furthermore, lisrelToR uses the following names for matrix types:

est

Parameter estimates

se

Standard errors

t

t-values

parSpec

Parameter numbers

Value

A matrix.

Lis <- readLisrel(modFile)

# Extract Lambda-Y for group 2:
lisrelMatrix(Lis,"LY", group = 2)

Read LISREL matrices into R

Description

This function scans LISREL (Joreskog & Sorbom, 1996) output for model matrices and fit indices.

Usage

readLisrel(x)

Arguments

x

String indicating the location of a LISREL output file.

LisrelToR uses the following names for the model matrices:

LY

Lambda-Y matrix.

PS

Psi matrix.

BE

Beta matrix.

TE

Theta-Epsilon matrix.

TY

Tau-Y matrix.

Furthermore, lisrelToR uses the following names for matrix types:

est

Parameter estimates

se

Standard errors

t

t-values

parSpec

Parameter numbers

Value

A list of class "lisrel" contaning:

fitIndices

Fit indices, currently not supported.

matrices

A list contaning the model matrices. For each group this list conains a list with for each matrix (using LISREL style naming, see details) a list contaning elements est for parameter estimates, se for standard errors, t for t-values and parSpec for parameter numbers. Use lisrelMatrix to extract the matrices.

variables

Currently not used.

Covariances

A list with elements implied and observed containing the implied and observed covariance matrices.
