HELP with NLME
Hi, I was very much hoping someone could help me with the following. I am trying to convert some SAS NLMIXED code to NLME in R (v.2.1), but I get an error message. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think my error is with the random effect "u" which seems to be parametrized differently in the SAS code. In case it's helpful, what I am essentially trying to do is estimate parameters

Request for Assistance in R with NonMem
Hi I am having some problems running a covariate analysis with my colleage using R with the NonMem program we are using for a graduate school project. R and NonMem run fine without adding in the covariates, but the program is giving us a problem when the covariate analysis is added. We think the problem is with the R code to run the covariate data analysis. We have the control stream, R code

Structural Equation Model
Hello all! I want to estimate parameters in a MIMIC model. I have one latent variable (ksi), four reflexive indicators (y1, y2, y3 and y4) and four formative indicators (x1, x2, x3, x4). Is there a way to do it in R? I know there is the SEM library, but it seems not to be possible to specify formative indicators, that is, observed exogenous variables which causes the latent variable. Thanks,

Fit indexes in SEM with categorical data + ML estimation
Hello, It has been found that SEM analysis using polychoric correlations + maximum likelihood estimator produces incorrect test statistics and standard errors (e.g., Flora, D. B., & Curran, P. J. (2004). An Empirical Evaluation of Alternative Methods of Estimation for Con?rmatory Factor Analysis With Ordinal Data. Psychological Methods, 9(4), 466-491). Standard errors can be dealt with by

profile
I am running 1.3.1 on a Windows (NT 4.0) machine. I've fit a nonlinear model intended to predict crop yield from nutrient information, and want to use the profile function. If I type say, profile(simparj.fm) I get the following error message: "Error in prof$getProfile(): number of iterations exceeded maximum of 5.25515e-308" I used the profiler function to profile simparj,fm step

Dealing with large nominal predictor in sem package
Hi, I am using tsls function from sem package to estimate a model which includes large number of data. Among its predictors, it has a nominal data which has about 10 possible values. So I expand this parameter into 9-binary-value predictors with the coefficient of base value equals 0. I also have another continuous predictor. The problem is that, whenever I run the tsls, I will get 'System

SEM with dichotomous indicators
Hello, I'd like to know if there is a way to fit a Structural equation model with dichotomous indicators (ex: problem with a phone solved/ or not) having effects on a ordinal variable. How I do that using R? Do you have an example with the code in R that you can send to me? Thanks a lot! Renata Estrella UFRJ, Brasil, Rio de Janeiro Renata Leite Estrella Assistente de

Questions regarding sem using hetcor() function from polycor and diagrams
Hello R Users, While I have attempted to dig into the R help files and I have not identified the answer to these questions, I apologize in advance if my questions were answered in the past. I also recognize that one of my questions unfortunately verges on statistical rather than code territory. I have two rather unrelated questions about using the sem and polycor packages for a relatively

SEM for categorical data
Hi I am looking for a structural equation modeling package in R which can be used for categorical data. Is anyone aware of the existence of such a package? Would appreciate any help on this.

How to compare parameters of non linear fitting curves
Hi, I'm using a non linear model to fit experimental survival curves. This model describes the fraction of "still active" experiments as a function of time t as follows: f(t)=(1+exp(-etaD*cD)) / (1+exp(etaD(t-cD))) Moreover, when experiments are still active, they may change of state (from 0 to 1). But they may fall inactive before changing their state (their state still

CFA with lavaan or with SEM
Hi Sorry for the rather long message. I am trying to use the cfa command in the lavaan package to run a CFA however I am unsure over a couple of issues. I have @25 dichotomous variables, 300 observations and an EFA on a training dataset suggests a 3 factor model. After defining the model I use the command fit.dat <- cfa(model.1, data=my.dat, std.lv = T, estimator="WLSMV",

Fitting multinomial response in structural equation
Hi - I am confronting a situation where I have a set of structural equation and one or two of my responses are multinomial. I understand that sem would not deal with the unordered response. So I am thinking of the following two ways: 1. Expanding my response to a new set of binary variables corresponding to each label of my multinomial response. Then use each of these as a separate response in my

appropriate covariance matrix for multiple nominal exogenous and multiple continuous endogenous variables in SEM
Hi, I would like to use the sem package to perform a path analysis (no latent variables) with a mixture of 2 nominal exogenous, 1 continuous exogenous, and 4 continuous endogenous variables. I seek advice as to how to calculate the appropriate covariance matrix for use with the sem package. I have read through the polycor package, and am confused as to the use of "numeric" for

Fixing error variance in a path analysis to model measurement error in scales using sem package
Hi! I want to construct a path analysis model that can account for measurement error in totally aggregated parcels, which refer to parcels where all of the items in a scale are summed or averaged. If I am not mistaken, Bollen (1989) advocates the following formula for computing the error variance of each parcel: (1−α(parcel))×variance(parcel), such that α refers to Cronbach's alpha, which

Heterogeneous Correlation Matrix with Survey Weights
Hello, I have a data set containing categorical and ordinal factors, as well as sampling weights (i.e., survey weights reflecting unequal probabilities of selection). I want to fit a structural equation model with sem(). I have run sem() on weighted covariance matrices using advice from John Fox (see <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e5/help/08/12/8773.html> and
