I'm trying to run a CFA model, and I'm receiving some status 6 (code red) errors that I suspect may be due to starting values. I have constrained variances to be positive and have moved the starting values around, but no success.
Two things: 1) do you have any recommendations on how to determine starting values for latent variances, residual variances, covariances, factor loadings, means, etc.? 2) Do you know where I could read more about guidelines for determining starting values?
Thanks!
