Analyze Text Speed Model
Let's analyze your text speed model from the first lesson. This model included one latent variable, textspeed
, represented by six manifest variables. Variables x4
, x5
, x6
measured reading comprehension, and x7
, x8
, and x9
measured speed counting and addition from the HolzingerSwineford1939
dataset.
We will use the cfa()
function to analyze text.model
using the data from HolzingerSwineford1939
. Our summary should indicate the model was identified with 9 degrees of freedom. You should examine the latent variable estimates to determine which items measure the latent variable well (high scores) and which do not (low scores).

Instruções do exercício
- Use the
cfa()
function to fit a model calledtext.fit
. Remember to include both model and data arguments! - Use the
summary()
function to view the model fit.

# Load the lavaan library
library(lavaan)
# Load the dataset and define model
data(HolzingerSwineford1939)
text.model <- 'textspeed =~ x4 + x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 + x9'
