Hi, I am working with an OUT file from Mplus. I want to plot a path diagram with my SEM results. semPaths does it automatically but I want to ignore some variables of my study (meaning I don't want them on the path diagram but I want the variables include in the sem analysis. Exactly I want to ignore RELF AUTF and COMF, because that variables form a second order factor (BNF) and I doesn't need it in the path. Does anyone know a command or another package/function that could work with that? Im using the following sintaxis: outfile <- "quested.out" semPaths(outfile,what="est",instStyle="multi", intercepts=FALSE, rotation=4, edge.color="black", sizeMan=5, esize=TRUE, structural="TRUE", ThreshAtSide="FALSE", layout="tree2") and my model from Mplus looks like that: MODEL: ASF BY p1mcas1 p1mcas2 p1mcas3 p1mcas4 p1mcas5; COMPF BY p1bnc1 p1bnc2 p1bnc3 p1bnc4 p1bnc5 p1bnc6; AUTF BY p1bna1 p1bna2 p1bna4 p1bna5; RELATF BY p1bnr1 p1bnr2 p1bnr3 p1bnr4; ENF BY p1en1 p1en2 p1en3 p1en4; IDROPF BY p1do1 p1do2r p1do3 p1do4r; bnf ON asf ; enf ON bnf ; idropf ON enf ; MODEL INDIRECT: enf IND bnf asf; idropf IND enf bnf; idropf IND enf bnf asf; Thank you in advance, Ariadna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
