Hi John- Thanks. You were right--AMOS was not reading the sample size correctly (i.e., I was not telling it correctly). When I corrected the problem, I got the same estimates. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Anthony John Fox wrote: Dear Anthony, sem() does FIML estimation, n

Re: [R] sem package and AMOS

2009-02-02 Thread John Fox
Dear Anthony, sem() does FIML estimation, not 2SLS, and so it's hard to understand why you're getting "nearly identical" parameter estimates but very different coefficient standard errors and model chi-squares. In fact, unless the problem is very ill-conditioned, the parameter estimates should be

Dear Prof. FOX, Good starting values are very critical in real applying cases. If sem package could automatically delete one or some variables to fit an embedded small model, just to automatically provide good starting values, I think it could be more useful. Moreover, I think starting value searc

Dear Xiaoxu LI, sem.mod(mod4, cor18, 500, debug=TRUE) will show you what went wrong with the optimization. Since the three-factor solutions look reasonable, I tried using them to get better start values for the parameters in the four-factor model, producing the solution shown below. As well, I no
