MplusAutomation is a package for R that facilitates complex latent variable analyses in Mplus involving comparisons among many models and parameters. More specifically, MplusAutomation provides tools to accomplish 3 objectives: to create and manage Mplus syntax for groups of related models; to automate the estimation of many models; and to extract, aggregate, and compare fit statistics, parameter estimates, and ancillary model outputs. We provide an introduction to the package using applied examples including a large-scale simulation study. By reducing the effort required for large-scale studies, a broad goal of MplusAutomation is to support methodological developments in structural equation modeling using Mplus.

MplusAutomation：用于促进 Mplus 中大规模潜在变量分析的 R 包

MplusAutomation 是 R 的一个包，它促进了 Mplus 中复杂的潜在变量分析，涉及许多模型和参数之间的比较。更具体地说，MplusAutomation 提供了实现 3 个目标的工具：为相关模型组创建和管理 Mplus 语法；自动估计许多模型；并提取、汇总和比较拟合统计、参数估计和辅助模型输出。我们使用包括大规模模拟研究在内的应用示例介绍了该包。通过减少大规模研究所需的工作量，MplusAutomation 的一个广泛目标是支持使用 Mplus 进行结构方程建模的方法论发展。
