Cross-Classified/Nested Model Support/Examples

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the support OpenMx has for nested models and especially cross-classified models. I've found some great examples (http://psychological-research.org/R/) for doing these models in a wide data format. This approach though is a bit cumbersome for larger and more complex models, especially cross-classified models.

I can't find any examples using a multiple group approach (e.g. Muthen, 1994). Can OpenMx use this approach? Are there examples?

Also, I've seen various discussions around the forums about developing a simplified syntax for nested models. Has any progress been made here? I'd be especially interested in seeing examples of cross-classified models if they exist.

Thank you,
Mark

update

The manuscript was published in Structural Equation Modeling, 24(5), 684-698. See [Pritikin et al 2017](https://jpritikin.github.io/papers/pritikin-et-al-2017.pdf)

For example of a cross-classified model is xxm-4.R

OpenMx does not yet have an efficient strategy to evaluate cross-classified models. If your data is large, it's going to be really slow.
