INLAvaan 0.2.3
CRAN release: 2026-01-28
- Improved axis scanning, skewness correction, and VB mean correction routine.
- Bug fixes for CRAN.
- Updated README example.
INLAvaan 0.2.2
CRAN release: 2026-01-27
- Under the hood, use lavaan’s MVN log-likelihood function to compute single- and multi-level log-likelihoods.
- Added support for multi-level SEM models.
- Added support for binary data using PML estimator from lavaan. NOTE: Ordinal is possible in theory, but the package still lacks proper prior support for the thresholds.
- Added support for
missing = "ML"to handle FIML for missing data.
INLAvaan 0.2.1
- Support for lavaan 0.6-21.
- Implemented variational Bayes mean correction for posterior marginals.
- Defined parameters are now available, e.g. mediation analysis.
- Prepare for CRAN release.
INLAvaan 0.2
- INLAvaan has been rewritten from the ground up specifically for SEM models. The new version does not call R-INLA directly, but instead uses the core approximation ideas to fit SEM models more efficiently.
- Features are restricted to normal likelihoods only and continuous observations for now.
- Support for most models that lavaan/blavaan can fit, including CFA, SEM, and growth curve models.
- Support for multigroup analysis.
- Added PPP and DIC model fit indices.
- Added prior specification for all model parameters.
- Added support for fixed values and parameter constraints.
- Initial CRAN submission.
