ParameterTable interface

Altough you can directly specify a parameter table, this is kind of tedious, so at the moment, we dont have a tutorial for this. As lavaan also uses parameter tables to store model specifications, we are working on a way to convert lavaan parameter tables to StructuralEquationModels.jl parameter tables, but this is still WIP.

Convert from and to RAMMatrices

To convert a RAMMatrices object to a ParameterTable, simply use partable = ParameterTable(rammatrices). To convert an object of type ParameterTable to RAMMatrices, you can use ram_matrices = RAMMatrices(partable).

API

StructuralEquationModels.ParameterTable — Type

ParameterTables contain the specification of a structural equation model.

Constructor

(1) ParameterTable(graph; observed_vars, latent_vars, ...)

(2) ParameterTable(ram_matrices; ...)

Return a ParameterTable constructed from (1) a graph or (2) RAM matrices.

Arguments

graph: graph defined via @StenoGraph
observed_vars::Vector{Symbol}: observed variable names
latent_vars::Vector{Symbol}: latent variable names
ram_matrices::RAMMatrices: a RAMMatrices object

Examples

See the online documentation on Model specification and the Graph interface.

Additional keyword arguments

parname::Symbol = :θ: prefix for automatically generated parameter labels
