i am attaching a .csv file, and the associated code worked out in R Studio.
i used the lavaan and sem packages, and conducted it. now, i wish to draw the SEM model, as is available in AMOS other packages and how does one draw the covariance arrows in R. ONE STATISTICS oriented question - how can one provide interpretation for negative coefficients. kindly guide. thanks and regds, taxliability <- read.csv("~/R WORK SPACE/taxliability.csv") > View(taxliability) > model <-'tax~ inc + exp + svg + inv' > fit <- sem(model, data = taxliability) Error: could not find function "sem" > library("lavaan", lib.loc="~/R/win-library/3.2") This is lavaan 0.5-18 lavaan is BETA software!
