The MplusAutomation package leverages the flexibility of the R
language to automate latent variable model estimation and
interpretation using Mplus, a powerful latent variable modeling
program developed by Muthén and Muthén
(www.statmodel.com). Specifically, MplusAutomation provides routines
for creating related groups of models, running batches of models, and
extracting and tabulating model parameters and fit statistics.
