Random slope in multilevel SEM

[Shu Fai Cheung]

I know it is not listed as available on the official website (https://lavaan.ugent.be/development.html), but I still want to ask, as I hope that it is already there ... or will be there soon.

I noticed that "random slope" is mentioned in some lines of the source code of lavaan (e.g., https://github.com/yrosseel/lavaan/blob/e4c9615ee65832aac231cb4c6140e4f929e955b4/R/lav_partable.R#L205). Is it a work-in-progress or an experimental feature?

Is it a work-in-progress 

Yes, and quite a lot of work, from what I understand.  It is not intended to be part of the next CRAN release, so I would not hold out hope for seeing something public/stable before summer (maybe longer).

I see. I look forward to having this feature but I will wait patiently. :)
