findFactorIntercept

Find factor intercept from regression coefficient matrix and factor total means

Description

Find factor intercept from regression coefficient matrix and factor total means for latent variable models. In the path analysis model, this function will find indicator intercept from regression coefficient and indicator total means.

Usage

findFactorIntercept(beta, factorMean = NULL, gamma = NULL, covmean = NULL)

Arguments

`beta`	Regression coefficient matrix among factors
`factorMean`	A vector of total (model-implied) factor (indicator) means. The default is that all total factor means are 0.
`gamma`	Regression coefficient matrix from covariates (column) to factors (rows)
`covmean`	A vector of covariate means.

Value

A vector of factor (indicator) intercepts

path[5, 1] <- path[8, 4] <- 0.4
path[6, 2] <- path[9, 5] <- 0.4
factorMean <- c(5, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
