parameterEstimates() doesn't return pooled CIs with lavaan.mi object

[Huiying-Xu]

I used runMI() to carry out SEM with imputed 20 datasets, which returns a lavaan.mi object "imptt.sem". When I used summary(imptt.sem) or parameterEstimates(imptt.sem, standardized = TRUE, ci = TRUE), both functions don't contain pooled estimates or CIs. I tried monteCarloCI(), which didn't work. Is there a function to calculate pooled CIs? Thanks a lot!

runMI() is now deprecated. Please use the new lavaan.mi package instead, recently on CRAN (along with a semTools update).

In neither case will parameterEstimates() work because that is a lavaan function for lavaan-class objects. The new lavaan.mi package has a parameterEstimates.mi() function, which is also called by summary() and can provide normal-theory CIs using pooled point and SE estimates. The semTools::monteCarloCI() should work on lavaan.mi-class objects.
