Read in an Mplus input file, convert it to lavaan syntax, and fit the model.

mplus2lavaan(inpfile, run = TRUE)

Arguments

inpfile

The filename (including a full path) of the Mplus input file. The data (as referred to in the Mplus input file) should be in the same directory as the Mplus input file.

run

Whether to run the specified Mplus input syntax (TRUE) or only to parse and convert the syntax (FALSE).
