Extract the model-implied (fitted) sample statistics from a fitted INLAvaan model. As in lavaan and blavaan, the moments are the model-implied covariance matrix (and mean vector, when a mean structure is present) evaluated at the parameter estimates – here the posterior means.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'INLAvaan'
fitted(object, type = "moments", labels = TRUE, ...)

# S4 method for class 'INLAvaan'
fitted.values(object, type = "moments", labels = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class INLAvaan.

type

Character. "moments" (default) returns the model-implied variance-covariance matrix and, when relevant, the mean vector (plus thresholds for ordinal data). "casewise" (aliases "obs", "ov") returns the model-predicted values for each observation.

labels

Logical. Attach variable names to the output. Default TRUE.

...

Currently unused.

Value

For type = "moments", a list (or list of lists, for multiple groups) with elements such as cov, mean, and th. For type = "casewise", a numeric matrix of predicted observed-variable values.

Details

This delegates to lavaan's own fitted() machinery, so the return structure matches lavaan exactly. Because INLAvaan stores the posterior means as the point estimates of the fitted object, the implied moments are the posterior-mean model-implied moments (mirroring blavaan).

Examples

# \donttest{
HS.model <- "
  visual  =~ x1 + x2 + x3
  textual =~ x4 + x5 + x6
  speed   =~ x7 + x8 + x9
"
utils::data("HolzingerSwineford1939", package = "lavaan")
fit <- acfa(HS.model, HolzingerSwineford1939, std.lv = TRUE, nsamp = 100,
            test = "none", verbose = FALSE)
