estimate_mplus(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class tidy_sem.

...

Additional parameters passed to mplusObject and mplusModeler. These arguments are matched to the correct function by name. The arguments rdata, and MODEL cannot be edited, as they are determined from the tidy_sem object.

Value

An object of class mplusObject.
