Hello, I noticed a strange thing when attempting to upgrade a specific package (lavaan) from c2d4u and wondered if someone could confirm the problem. In short, apt seems to think that an older version from the "universe" repo is higher than the newer version from c2d4u. When I do apt-cache showpkg r-cran-lavaan I get the output at the bottom of this email. Then, I tried to force

This provides a mechanism to attach arbitrary configure options into the ssh_config file and use them from the LocalCommand and ProxyCommand. Examples: # set FOO to foo LocalEnvMod FOO = foo # append bar to FOO with default separator "," LocalEnvMod FOO += bar # unset FOO LocalEnvMod FOO = # append foo to BAR with separator ":", if BAR is empty

Dear R-users, A new package called `lavaan' (for latent variable analysis) has been uploaded to CRAN. The current version of lavaan (0.3-1) can be used for path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and growth curve modeling. More information can be found on the website: http://lavaan.org Some notable features of lavaan: - the 'lavaan model

I am a new user of the function sem in package sem and lavaan for structural equation modeling 1. I don?t know what is the difference between this function and CFA function, I know that cfa for confirmatory analysis but I don?t know what is the difference between confirmatory analysis and structural equation modeling in the package lavaan. 2. I have data that I want to analyse but I have some

Hello! I am trying to reproduce (for a publication) analyses that I ran several months ago using lavaan, I'm not sure which version, probably 0.4-12. A sample model is given below: pathmod='mh30days.log.w2 ~ mh30days.log + joingroup + leavegroup + alwaysgroup + grp.partic.w2 + black + age + bivoc + moved.conf + local.noretired + retired + ds + ministrytime + hrswork + nomoralescore.c +

Hello R Community, I am using the Lavaan package in R 2.15.0 to analyze data collected from 1200 lakes across North America. My dataset includes 3 continuous independent variables (LOG_NTL, LOG_PTL, and LOG_SR_A_D) and 1 continuous dependent variable (BIOVOL) . I have successfully constructed structural equation models using the Lavaan package (example included below with code), but I have not

I don't know the right computer science words for this question, I'm afraid. Apology in advance. How do you find your way around in somebody else's code? If the user runs a specific command, and wants to know how the data is managed until the result is returned, what to do ? I've tried this manually with tools like mtrace and browser. This is a bit frustrating because the

Hi Yves lavaan looks like a very nice package. From the tutorial introduction I see you create path diagrams for some of the models you describe. How did you do this? I don't see a function for this in the package. I know there is a path.diagram function in the sem package that uses dot to draw the diagram, but I've always found the layouts from dot somewhat strange for path diagrams

I have been trying to use lavaan (version 0.4-7) for a simple path model, but the program seems to be computing far less degrees of freedom for my model then it should have. I have 7 variables, which should give (7)(8)/2 = 28 covariances, and hence 28 DF. The model seems to only think I have 13 DF. The code to reproduce the problem is below. Have I done something wrong, or is this something I

Hi list members, I saw a couple lavaan posts here so I think I?m sending this to the correct list. I am trying to run a multigroup analysis with lavaan in order to compare behavioural correlations across two populations. I?m following the method suggested in the paper by Dingemanse et al. (2010) in Behavioural Ecology. In one of the groups, lavaan returns negative variance for one path and I?m

Hi r-help, I use lavaan:sem() for structural equation modelling with latent variables. Below is a reproducible example (the code requires a working installation of lavaan) where the latent variable criminality is in focus. Besides criminality in general, I am specifically interested one of the manifest variables that make up the latent variable criminality, namely fire.setting. My question is:

Hello all I'm trying to run some path analysis in either sem or lavaan (preferably lavaan because I find its interface easier to use). Most of my variables are continuously distributed and fairly well-behaved but I have a single exogenous variable (sex) which is not continuously distributed. Preliminary model fitting suggests that there aren't any sex by (anything else) interactions. The

Hello, I am trying to do a multiple groups CFA in lavaan and I get the following error message: Error in cov(data.obs, use = "pairwise") : 'x' is empty I'm not sure what this message is referring to, can anyone help me?

Dear R-users, Does somebody know what does the "Estimate" reported by the Lavaan model tell us? I assume this tells the relative strength of the dyadic relations. Thank you for your help!

Hello all, I am running a simple path analysis with the function sem.mi (of semTools) after doing multiple imputation in my (missing) data. However, depending on the option to combine the chi-square, I get the following warning messages: Warning messages: 1: In estimateVCOV(lavaanModel, samplestats = lavaanSampleStats, ... : lavaan WARNING: could not compute standard errors! 2: In
