Hi, with `2.21.8` on CRAN I ran these weighted models. No errors, but are the fit stats off? (`RMSEA = 5.67?... TLI = -1.196`)? with weights > Model Fit: χ²(6)...

Vignettes for ordinal variables and mendelian randomization.

Nice idea to add these, so I'd say add as is (with the proviso that I think `library("OpenMx")` needs to be added early on to these compile stand alone in...
