Package: MplusAutomation 1.3

MplusAutomation: An R Package for Facilitating Large-Scale Latent Variable Analyses in Mplus

Leverages the R language to automate latent variable model estimation and interpretation using 'Mplus', a powerful latent variable modeling program developed by Muthen and Muthen (<https://www.statmodel.com>). Specifically, this package provides routines for creating related groups of models, running batches of models, and extracting and tabulating model parameters and fit statistics.
