structural equation modeling in sem, error, The model has negative degrees of freedom = -3, and The model is almost surely misspecified...
Hi all, I am attempting to learn my way through the sem package by constructing a simple structural model for some of my data on bird diversity, abundance, and primary productivity. I have constructed a covariance matrix between these variables as per the following: >S_matrix = matrix(c( >+ 0.003083259, 0, 0, >+ 0.143870284, 89.7648490, 0, >+ 0.276950919, 81.3484101, 215.3570157 > ), ncol = 3, byrow = T) >rownames(S_matrix) = colnames(S_matrix) = c("dec_mean_EVI", "density", "ALL_Jack1") I then constru...
