Using R’s lavaan for CFA, I plotted my model with a custom plotting tool. However, the graph shows the raw estimates instead of the standardized loadings from the ‘Std.all’ column. What changes are needed to display the standardized values?
Hey all, I ran into something similar with my CFA models and got a bit tangled figuring out how to swap those raw numbers for the standardized ones. What helped me was checking out the parameterEstimates() function in lavaan, where you can specify standardized=TRUE. Then I grabbed those values to overlay on my plot. I also had to tweak my custom plotting function to correctly map the standardized estimates from the object I had. Have any of you tried a similar approach or perhaps found another neat trick? I’m curious if there are other plotting packages or scripts that make this swap more seamless. Let’s swap ideas!
