  latent,
  indicators = NULL,
  mu = 0.8,
  sigma = 0.05,
  k = 3,
  digits = 3
)

Arguments

latent

name of latent variable

indicators

vector of indicator names (assigned automatically if left NULL)

mu

mean of standardized coefficients

sigma

sd of standardized coeficients

k

number of indicator variables
