Why was fitted_lavaan.R dropped?

[dmcglinn]

I am interested in making predictions with an sem model. I found a reference here:

https://groups.google.com/g/lavaan/c/PmvWW0RgyvA

to the script fitted_lavann.R. But I can see now that this script is no long part of the R package.

Was this code found to be buggy or just outside of the scope of the project? It seems like a useful approach. I see something similar but not as well documented is implemented here:

https://github.com/jebyrnes/spatial_correction_lavaan/blob/master/predict_lavaan.R

Thank you for your great work!

This was never part of semTools. It was a script provided by a user for consideration (#25). I made some feedback about incorporating it, and somebody else took up the project briefly, but it has been stuck in limbo for a long time. You don't need it to be in semTools in order to source() the file and use it. But if someone has the time to add the checks and write a test script investigating a set of situations, I would be happy to include it in semTools.
