MxConstraint-class {OpenMx} | R Documentation |
MxConstraint is an S4 class. An MxConstraint object is a named entity. New instances of this class can be created using the function mxConstraint.
The MxConstraint class has the following slots:
name | - | The name of the object |
alg1 | - | The name of an MxAlgebra or MxMatrix object |
relation | - | A character string, either '<', '=', or '>' |
alg2 | - | The name of an MxAlgebra or MxMatrix object |
The 'name' slot is the name of the MxConstraint object.
The 'alg1' and 'alg2' slots hold MxAlgebra or MxMatrix objects whose relationship is constrained or defined by the contents of the 'relation' slot. To affect an estimation or optimization, an MxConstraint object must be included in an MxModel object with all referenced MxAlgebra and MxMatrix objects.
Slots may be referenced with the @ symbol. See the documentation for Classes and the examples in the mxConstraint document for more information.
The OpenMx User's guide can be found at http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/documentation.
mxConstraint for the function that creates MxConstraint objects. MxAlgebra and MxMatrix for objects which may be entered as arguments in the 'alg' and 'alg2' arguments, and mxAlgebra and mxMatrix for the functions that create them. More information about the OpenMx package may be found here.
