public enum ParamType
extends Enum<ParamType>

An enum of the free parameter types for SEM models (COEF, MEAN, VAR, COVAR). COEF freeParameters are edge coefficients in the linear SEM model; VAR parmaeters are variances among the error terms; COVAR freeParameters are (non-variance) covariances among the error terms.

Enum Constant Details

COEF

public static final ParamType COEF

Enum representing the free parameter type for structural equation modeling (SEM) models. COEF free parameters are edge coefficients in the linear SEM model.

MEAN

public static final ParamType MEAN

Variable Mean parameter type for SEM models.

VAR

public static final ParamType VAR

Represents the error variance parameter in a structural equation modeling (SEM) model.

COVAR

public static final ParamType COVAR

Represents a free parameter type for structural equation modeling (SEM) models. Specifically, the COVAR free parameter type is used to represent non-variance covariances among the error terms in the SEM model. This enum type is a part of the ParamType enum, which is used to categorize different types of free parameters for SEM models. The COVAR free parameter type is associated with the description "Error Covariance".

DIST

public static final ParamType DIST

Represents a free parameter type for structural equation modeling (SEM) models. Specifically, the DIST free parameter type is used to represent distribution parameters in the SEM model. It is associated with the description "Distribution Parameter".

Method Details

values

public static ParamType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ParamType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<ParamType>
