Hello all,
Newcomer to OpenMx here, just getting started and working through the 'Simplified Manual for Beginners'. I'm wondering if it makes sense to have a newbie forum thread, where we can ask basic questions, discuss the exercises in the manual / examples in the documentation, and link to materials that explain specific basic concepts to each other as we learn.
e.g. I'm working through an example designed to instruct on how to read the output of model summaries, and I'm finding that model fit doesn't appear to be affected much when I deliberately mis-specify the model. I'm likely doing something wrong in the model specification, or mis-reading something in the output.
I suppose I could ask these questions in the general thread, but I'm wondering if those of us that are new might more likely to ask, and answer, the 'stupid' questions in a newbie forum.
Thoughts?
