lavaan.mi (Q7375000)

The primary purpose of 'lavaan.mi' is to extend the functionality of the R package 'lavaan', which implements structural equation modeling (SEM). When incomplete data have been multiply imputed, the imputed data sets can be analyzed by 'lavaan' using complete-data estimation methods, but results must be pooled across imputations (Rubin, 1987, <doi:10.1002/9780470316696>). The 'lavaan.mi' package automates the pooling of point and standard-error estimates, as well as a variety of test statistics, using a familiar interface that allows users to fit an SEM to multiple imputations as they would to a single data set using the 'lavaan' package.
