mxGetExpected {OpenMx}R Documentation

Extract the component from a model's expectation

Description

This function extracts the expected means, covariance, or thresholds from a model.

Usage

mxGetExpected(model, component, defvar.row=1)
imxGetExpectationComponent(model, component, defvar.row=1)

Arguments

model

MxModel object from which to extract the expectation component.

component

A character. The name of the component to extract.

defvar.row

A row index. Which row to load for definition variables.

Details

The expected means, covariance, or thresholds can be extracted from Normal (mxExpectationNormal), RAM (mxExpectationRAM), and LISREL (mxExpectationLISREL) models. When more than one component is requested, the components will be returned as a list.

If component 'vector' is requested then the non-redundent coefficients of the expected manifest distribution will be returned as a vector.

Value

See details.

Examples

   
#----------
require(OpenMx)
manifests <- paste("x", 1:5, sep="")
latents <- c("G")
factorModel <- mxModel("One Factor",
      type="RAM",
      manifestVars = manifests,
      latentVars = latents,
      mxPath(from=latents, to=manifests),
      mxPath(from=manifests, arrows=2),
      mxPath(from=latents, arrows=2,
            free=FALSE, values=1.0),
      mxPath(from = 'one', to = manifests))

mxGetExpected(factorModel, "covariance")
# oops.  Starting values indicate a zero covariance matrix.
#  Probably should adjust them.
