A colleague and I studied the factor structure of a scale using the metaSEM package. The reviewers asked us for residual covariance matrice of structural model we construct. I couldn't see a command for this in the metaSEM package. There is vcov but this command gives sampling covariance matrices. Is there a way to see residual covariance matrices?
Sincerely
The script that we used to construct our model is ad follow:
library(metaSEM)
library(lavaan)
sdeğ <- 6
değad <- c("m1","m2","m3","m4","m5","m6")
etiket <- list(değad,değad)
korver <- list()
for (i in 1:nrow(veri)){
korver[[i]] <- vec2symMat(as.matrix(veri[i,3:17]),diag = FALSE)
dimnames(korver[[i]]) <- etiket
}
korver
REM1 <- tssem1(Cov=korver, n=veri$N, method="REM", RE.type="Diag")
summary(REM1)
model<-"
Faktor1=~M1+M2+M3
Faktor2=~M4+M5+M6
Faktor1~~Faktor2"
RAM <- lavaan2RAM(model, obs.variables=c("M1","M2","M3","M4","M5", "M6"),
A.notation="on", S.notation="with")
REM2 <- tssem2(REM1, RAM=RAM, intervals="LB")
summary(REM2)
Call:
wls(Cov = pooledS, aCov = aCov, n = tssem1.obj$total.n, RAM = RAM,
Amatrix = Amatrix, Smatrix = Smatrix, Fmatrix = Fmatrix,
diag.constraints = diag.constraints, cor.analysis = cor.analysis,
intervals.type = intervals.type, mx.algebras = mx.algebras,
model.name = model.name, suppressWarnings = suppressWarnings,
silent = silent, run = run)

Random effect Subgroup analysis
We want to investigate whether and how the regression coefficients of the structural models differ across studies with sample of children or adult. In other words, is it possible to do Random effect model subgroup analysis?

Yes, but not straightforward.
Instead of running the stage 2 model with tssem2(...), you may export the model and data to a mxmodel with tssem2(..., run=FALSE).
You may then use mxFitFunctionMultigroup() in OpenMx to conduct a multiple-group analysis directly.

Random effect Subgroup analysis
Thank you very much for your replay. I'm pretty new to openmx. How to export my model and data to mxModel(). If we have stage 1 result (REM), RAM model and data file (ls), how can we write the mxModel and conduct tssem2.
if you don't mind can you write me the script or send me an example?
Best regards.

It can be complicated.
It is easier to apply the OSMASEM approach by using a dummy code of children or adults as a predictor. There are a couple of examples, e.g.,
