Latent Interaction (and Moderation) Analysis in Structural Equation Models (SEM)
Estimation of interaction (i.e., moderation) effects between latent variables in structural equation models (SEM). The supported methods are: The constrained approach (Algina & Moulder, 2001). The unconstrained approach (Marsh et al., 2004). The residual centering approach (Little et al., 2006). The double centering approach (Lin et al., 2010). The latent moderated structural equations (LMS) approach (Klein & Moosbrugger, 2000). The quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) approach (Klein & Muthén, 2007) (temporarily unavailable) The constrained- unconstrained, residual- and double centering- approaches are estimated via 'lavaan' (Rosseel, 2012), whilst the LMS- and QML- approaches are estimated via by modsem it self. Alternatively model can be estimated via 'Mplus' (Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2017). References: Algina, J., & Moulder, B. C. (2001). doi:10.1207/S15328007SEM0801_3.
