## Help Pages

ShortForm-package | 'ShortForm' package
.onAttach | Package Attach Hook Function
ACO-class | An S4 class for the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
add.param | Adds a parameter to the given search table. Checks whether parameter is involved in any (in)equality constraints in a fitted lavaan model
antcolony.lavaan | A function to implement the ant colony optimization algorithm for short form specification searches with the package lavaan.
antcolony.mplus | A function to implement the ant colony optimization algorithm for short form specification searches, either using MPlus directly via 'system' calls or using Mplus indirectly with the package MplusAutomation.
exampleAntModel | Model syntax for the example in the 'antcolony.lavaan' function.
modelCheck-class | An S4 class for the modelCheck object
plot-method | Plot method for class 'ACO'
plot-method | Plot method for class 'SA'
plot-method | Plot method for class 'TS'
refit.model | Given a fitted lavaan model and a search table, refits the model using the search table as specifying what changes should be done (parameters fixed/freed).
SA-class | An S4 class for the Simulated Annealing Algorithm
search.prep | Given a fitted lavaan model (e.g., CFA), prepares a table that contains parameters that can be fixed/freed as part of a model specification search.
shortExampleAntModel | Model syntax for the short example in the 'antcolony.lavaan' function.
ShortForm | 'ShortForm' package
ShortFormStartup | Create Package Startup Message
show-method | Print method for class 'ACO'
show-method | Print method for class 'SA'
show-method | Print method for class 'TS'
simulatedAnnealing | An adaptation of the simulated annealing algorithm for psychometric models.
simulated_test_data | A simulated data set based on a standardized test.
summary-method | Summary method for class 'ACO'
summary-method | Summary method for class 'SA'
summary-method | Summary method for class 'TS'
tabu.sem | Given a fitted lavaan model, a search table, and an objective criterion, performs a Tabu model specification search. Currently only supports neighbors that are 1 move away from the current model.
tabuShortForm | Short Form Tabu Search
TS-class | An S4 class for the Tabu Search Algorithm
