group variable not considered

[nicobast]

Dear Milan,

this is a great package that substantially speeds up the estimation of multiple LCSMs. However, I wonder how to calculate different LCSMs between groups. In lavaan, you would be able to specify "group" option.

In your "fit_uni_lcsm" and "fit_bi_lcsm" you can pass options to lavaan. I can also specify the "group" option and it provides distinct parameter estimates for each group.

However, these parameter estimates do not differ between groups. It always provides the same estimates for each group. Could this relate to an internal setting of the "group.equal" option that is fixed for all parameters across groups?

Thanks and Best,
Nico
