DGP-SEM_Pro

Author:

Description:

• The DGP-SEM_Pro package allows users to generate implied covariance matrices of indicators and simulate data from structural equation models (SEM) with factors and/or components.

Features:

• Derive implied covariance matrices from linear structural equation models with factors and/or components.
• Randomly generate data from the model for simulation purposes.
• New in v1.1: Support for generating data from SEM with component interactions.
• New in v1.2: Support for generating data from SEM with higher-order constructs.

Installation:

To use this package in MATLAB:

1. Clone or download the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PsycheMatrica/DGP-SEM_Pro.git

2. Add the package to your MATLAB path:

    addpath(genpath('DGP-SEM_Pro'))

Usage:

• To see examples of how to use the package, refer to the "Run_Example_...".m files. This file demonstrates how to derive implied covariance matrices and generate simulation data using the package.

Compatibility:

• Tested on MATLAB R2023b.
• Likely compatible with earlier MATLAB versions.

Future Update

• A version of this package will be released for R in the near future.
• More complex model structures will be accommodated.
