Thanks, I have looked at this package but I am still trying to understand some of the features. It looks interesting, though. David J > Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 15:05:32 +0200 > From: i.vis...@uva.nl > To: dav...@qimr.edu.au > CC: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] Ver

Thanks for the info. It would be nice to transition LEM to R (make it a package), but I don't know how much work that would take. It's not updated anymore and as far as I know it's not open source. Perhaps Vermunt would be open to share his code. In R it's just a question of finding the right p

I don't know of any R package that can match all the functionality of LEM eg fitting equality constraints to model parameters a la LISREL. WRT dumping tables, I would have thought that as.data.frame.table does pretty much what you want, [not tested] newtab <- as.data.frame(table(a,b,c)) cat("

I guess LEM is a software for latent class analysis. If so, you may want to have a look at poLCA package. Regards Ronggui On 5 May 2011 23:34, David Joubert wrote: > > Hello- > > Does anyone know of packages that could emulate what J. Vermunt's LEM does ? > What is the closest relative in R ? >

Hello- Does anyone know of packages that could emulate what J. Vermunt's LEM does ? What is the closest relative in R ? I use both R and LEM but have trouble transforming my multiway tables in R into a .dat file compatible with LEM. Thanks, David Joubert
