Fitting a Model in lavaan or in survey

The function BIFIE.lavaan.survey fits a structural equation model in lavaan using the lavaan.survey package (currently not on CRAN). Currently, only maximum likelihood estimation for normally distributed data is available.

The function BIFIE.survey fits a model defined in the survey package.

Usage

BIFIE.lavaan.survey(lavmodel, svyrepdes, lavaan_fun="sem",
    lavaan_survey_default=FALSE, fit.measures=NULL, ...)
