Correlations from ADE and AE, huge differences
I am writing this post since I am fitting an ADE bivariate model, but I get really different correlations from the ADE and the AE model.
Here you can see the correlations for both models:

As you can see there are huge differences between the ADE and AE correlations. In the ADE model the cross-twin cross-trait correlation is almost equal for MZ and DZ whereas in the AE model there is a notable difference (MZ=0.22; DZ=0.11) I do not know why I am getting so different correlations. What should I do?
Thank you so much in advance!
With all good wishes,
The differences aren't that
