Builds a single-factor reflective measurement model: one latent continuous factor with directed loadings onto observed continuous indicators, the first loading fixed to 1 for scaling, residual variances implied, and a person plate.
Usage
umg_factor(
factor = "F",
indicators = c("y1", "y2", "y3"),
loadings = NULL,
factor_label = NULL,
indicator_labels = NULL,
plate_index = "i = 1, ..., N",
dist = "N(0, psi)"
)Arguments
- factor
Name of the latent factor (character scalar).
- indicators
Character vector of indicator names (>= 2).
- loadings
Optional character vector of loading labels for the free loadings (the indicators after the first), so of length
length(indicators) - 1. A vector of lengthlength(indicators)is also accepted, in which case its first element (the fixed marker loading) is ignored. Defaults tolambda[k].- factor_label, indicator_labels
Optional display labels.
- plate_index
Index label for the person plate.
- dist
Distribution annotation for the factor (source vertex).
