Dear all, I am looking for an R package or code that allows me to simulate data consistent with a given structural equation model. Essentially my idea is to define (a) the number of endogenous and exogenous latent variables, (b) the strength of relationship between them and (c) the way of measurement (number of indicators, distribution of indicators) and to obtain simulated data consistent with this specification. I know there is some literature on this topic (e.g., Mattson, S. (1997). How to generate non-normal data for simulation of structural equation models. Multivariate behavioral research, 32(4), 355 ? 373), but I do not know whether some of these approaches have already been implanted in R and/ or whether better methods exist. Any help would be very much appreciated, Thanks, Michael Michael Haenlein Professor of Marketing ESCP Europe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
