\title{Create an MxFitFunctionRow Object}

\description{
mxFitFunctionRow returns an MxFitFunctionRow object.
}

\usage{
mxFitFunctionRow(rowAlgebra, reduceAlgebra, dimnames,
   rowResults = "rowResults", filteredDataRow = "filteredDataRow",
   existenceVector = "existenceVector", units="-2lnL")
}


\arguments{
   \item{rowAlgebra}{A character string indicating the name of the algebra to be evaluated row-wise.}
   \item{reduceAlgebra}{A character string indicating the name of the algebra that collapses the row results into a single number which is then optimized.}
   \item{dimnames}{A character vector of names corresponding to columns be extracted from the data set.}
   \item{rowResults}{The name of the auto-generated "rowResults" matrix.  See details.}
   \item{filteredDataRow}{The name of the auto-generated "filteredDataRow" matrix. See details.}
   \item{existenceVector}{The name of the auto-generated "existenceVector" matrix. See details.}
   \item{units}{(optional) The units of the fit statistic.}
}

\details{
Fit functions are functions for which free parameter values are optimized such that the value of a cost function is minimized.  The mxFitFunctionRow function evaluates a user-defined \link{MxAlgebra} object called the \sQuote{rowAlgebra} in a row-wise fashion.  It then stores results of the row-wise evaluation in another \link{MxAlgebra} object called the \sQuote{rowResults}.  Finally, the mxFitFunctionRow function collapses the row results into a single number which is then used for optimization.  The \link{MxAlgebra} object named by the \sQuote{reduceAlgebra} collapses the row results into a single number.

The \sQuote{filteredDataRow} is populated in a row-by-row fashion with all the non-missing data from the current row.  You cannot assume that the length of the filteredDataRow matrix remains constant (unless you have no missing data). The \sQuote{existenceVector} is populated in a row-by-row fashion with a value of 1.0 in column j if a non-missing value is present in the data set in column j, and a value of 0.0 otherwise. Use the functions \link{omxSelectRows}, \link{omxSelectCols}, and \link{omxSelectRowsAndCols} to shrink other matrices so that their dimensions will be conformable to the size of \sQuote{filteredDataRow}. 
}

\value{
Returns a new MxFitFunctionRow object. Only one MxFitFunction object should be included in each model.  There is no need for an MxExpectation object when using mxFitFunctionRow.
