Hi again Mike,

I was wondering if this is possible:
Having the pooled correlation matrix and their standard errors, do you have any way to apply directly the second stage of tssem over that data? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Laura

Hi, Laura.

If you have the pooled correlation matrix and the sampling covariance matrix (not only the standard errors), you can use the wls() function directly. Actually, tssem2() is a wrapper of wls().

Cheers,
Mike
