Hi there, as a student sociology, I'm starting to learn about SEM. The course I follow is based on LISREL, but I want to use the SEM-package on R parallel to it. Using LISREL, I found it to be very usable to be able to see the total direct and total indirect effects (standardized and unstandardized) in the output. Can I create these effects using R? I know how to calculate them

...nconsistency of the estimated coefficients. My question is that if I apply the nonlinear regression like SVM regression. Do I still need to worry about endogeneity? Meaning, what I only need to care is the 1st step of 2SLS. That would mean that I only need to carry out the SVM regression on all the exogs. Am I missing anything here?

attempting to do multivariate modelling in R with known future conditions (in this case variable 'b') using MSBVAR and hc.forecast. The sample code (a paired down representation) does not give anywhere near the expected results - I am assuming that a forecast 8 steps out would approximate 'a' as the sequence 1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1 corresponding to the input set. I have varied the input
