Clarification: adjusting the number of observed statistics in summary function
Posted on

Forums
The summary() function has a optional parameter 'numObs = X' that adjusts the number of observations to 'X' for the purposes of calculating summary statistics. I'm in the process of adding an argument 'numObs = X' to the mxAlgebraObjective() function that will increment the total number of observations in the model by 'X' for the purposes of calculating summary statistics.
Question: do we need a similar knob for the number of observed statistics in the summary() function and in the mxAlgebraObjective() function?
Hmmm. I don't see the need

OK. In the subversion
I admit these names are slightly confusing. The name 'numObs' comes from the argument in the mxData() function. So if we change 'numObs' we have to change mxData(), which will break some scripts. The arguments are documented in the R help for ?mxAlgebraObjective and ?summary.
