Estimate latent profiles using Mplus — estimate_profiles

Estimates latent profiles (finite mixture models) using the commercial program Mplus, through the R-interface of MplusAutomation.

estimate_profiles_mplus2(
  df,
  n_profiles,
  model_numbers,
  select_vars,
  ...,
  keepfiles = FALSE
)

Arguments

df: data.frame with two or more columns with continuous variables
n_profiles: Numeric vector. The number of profiles (or mixture components) to be estimated. Each number in the vector corresponds to an analysis with that many mixture components.
model_numbers: Numeric vector. Numbers of the models to be estimated. See estimate_profiles for a description of the models available in tidyLPA.
select_vars: Character. Optional vector of variable names in df, to be used for model estimation. Defaults to NULL, which means all variables in df are used.
...: Parameters passed directly to mplusModeler. See the documentation of mplusModeler.
keepfiles: Logical. Whether to retain the files created by mplusModeler (e.g., for future reference, or to manually edit them).
