6.1.2 Analysis with data from both groups

For multiple group analysis, “sample.cov” should be a list with a variance-covariance matrix of each group, and “sample.nobs” should be a list or a vector with the number of observations for each group. By default, the same model is fitted in all groups without any equality constraints on the model parameters

6.1.2.4 use modindices() function to release constraints across groups

By default, the modindices() function will only consider nonfree parameters (those fixed at 0 or 1). Parameters that are constrained to be equal across groups are still free parameters. Set the argument “free.remove = FALSE” for releasing constraints across groups.

6.1.2.5 constrain loadings, residual variances, and residual covariances

The value for “group.equal” should be a vector of character strings. They can be one or more of the following: “loadings”, “intercepts”, “means”, “thresholds”, “regressions”, “residuals”, “residual.covariances”, “lv.variances” or “lv.covariances”, specifying the pattern of equality constraints across multiple groups.

NELS.twogroup.fit.metric.constrain.residuals.residualcovariances <- cfa(NELS.cfa.model, sample.cov = list(NELS.MALE.cov, NELS.FEMALE.cov), sample.nobs = c(5312,6008), group.equal = c("loadings", "residuals", "residual.covariances"))

lavaan uses listwise deletion as the default. FIML can be enabled by specifying the argument missing=“ml” or missing=“fiml”. However, missing = “fiml” or “ml” is not available in the categorical setting. The default estimator for endogenous ordered categorical variables is WLSMV.
