Extracts summaries of alignment simulations from Mplus output file

Usage

extractAlignmentSim(
  sim.outputs = c("sim500.out", "sim100.out", "sim1000.out"),
  silent = FALSE,
  manual = F,
  adjust = T
)

Arguments

sim.outputs: a character vector of file names containing simulation results of alignment ran in Mplus.
silent: Logical. Used for debugging.
manual: logical. If TRUE, correlations between population and estimated values are computed using the saved values (MONTECARLO:RESULTS = filename.txt should be in the Mplus input), if FALSE, the correlations are extracted from the Mplus output.
adjust: logical. Whether correlations should be adjusted using Fisher transformation (more accurate) or not (default in Mplus). Only makes sense when manual = TRUE.

Value

Invisibly returns a summary table.

Details

Best used as part of runAlignment. To match the Mplus output, the correlations are not adjusted for non-normality when averaging; when manual and adjusted, correlations are first Fisher-transformed, then averaged, then transformed back to r metric.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{  
     align.sim.summ <- extractAlignmentSim (c("sim500.out", "sim100.out", "sim1000.out")) 
     } # }
