ctsemOMX: Continuous Time Structural Equation Modelling - Old 'OpenMx'-Based Version
Charles Driver, Manuel C. Voelkle, Han Oud · 2020
Original 'ctsem' (continuous time structural equation modelling) functionality, based on the 'OpenMx' software, as described in Driver, Oud, Voelkle (2017) , with updated details in vignette. Combines stochastic differential equations representing latent processes with structural equation measurement models. These functions were split off from the main package of 'ctsem', as the main package uses the 'rstan' package as a backend now – offering estimation options from max likelihood to Bayesian. There are nevertheless use cases for the wide format SEM style approach as offered here, particularly when there are no individual differences in observation timing and the number of individuals is large. For the main 'ctsem' package, see .
