Returns a table of parameters with columns corresponding to freely estimated parameters and rows corresponding to nodes in the tree.

parameters(tree, leafs.only = TRUE)

Arguments

tree

A SEMtree object obtained from semtree

leafs.only

Default = TRUE. Only the terminal nodes (leafs) are printed. If set to FALSE, all node parameters are written to the data.frame.

Value

Returns a data.frame with rows for parameters and columns for terminal nodes.

Details

The row names of the resulting data frame correspond to internal node ids and the column names correspond to parameters in the SEM. Standard errors of the estimates can be obtained from parameters.
