clipboard

Copy or save the result of lavaan or FitDiff objects into a clipboard or a file

Description

Copy or save the result of lavaan or FitDiff object into a clipboard or a file. From the clipboard, users may paste the result into the Microsoft Excel or spreadsheet application to create a table of the output.

Usage

clipboard(object, what = "summary", ...)

saveFile(object, file, what = "summary", tableFormat = FALSE,
  fit.measures = "default", writeArgs = list(), ...)

Arguments

`object`	The `lavaan` or `FitDiff` object
`what`	The attributes of the `lavaan` object to be copied in the clipboard. `"summary"` is to copy the screen provided from the `summary` function. `"mifit"` is to copy the result from the `miPowerFit` function. Other attributes listed in the `inspect` method in the lavaan-class could also be used, such as `"coef"`, `"se"`, `"fit"`, `"samp"`, and so on. For the The `FitDiff` object, this argument is not active yet.
`...`	Additional argument listed in the `miPowerFit` function (for `lavaan` object only).
`file`	A file name used for saving the result
`tableFormat`	If `TRUE`, save the result in the table format using tabs for seperation. Otherwise, save the result as the output screen printed in the R console.
`fit.measures`	`character` vector specifying names of fit measures returned by `fitMeasures` to be copied/saved. Only relevant if `object` is class `FitDiff`.
`writeArgs`	`list` of additional arguments to be passed to `write.table`

Value

The resulting output will be saved into a clipboard or a file. If using the clipboard function, users may paste it in the other applications.

fit <- cfa(HW.model, data=HolzingerSwineford1939, group="school", meanstructure=TRUE)

# Copy the summary of the lavaan object
clipboard(fit)

# Copy the modification indices and the model fit from the miPowerFit function
clipboard(fit, "mifit")

# Copy the parameter estimates
clipboard(fit, "coef")

# Copy the standard errors
clipboard(fit, "se")

# Copy the sample statistics
clipboard(fit, "samp")

# Copy the fit measures
clipboard(fit, "fit")

# Save the summary of the lavaan object
saveFile(fit, "out.txt")

# Save the modification indices and the model fit from the miPowerFit function
saveFile(fit, "out.txt", "mifit")

# Save the parameter estimates
saveFile(fit, "out.txt", "coef")

# Save the standard errors
