Zero-inflated poisson counts using mxThreshold

I'm working with a latent variable model and I'd like to predict a negative binomial count response variable. I found the clever cludge that @AdminRobK previously shared to use thresholds fixed to parametric quantiles for negative binomial distribution ([#7856](https://openmx.ssri.psu.edu/comment/7856#comment-7856); [180313.R](https://openmx.ssri.psu.edu/sites/default/files/180313.R) ). I think this approach will work well for me. The issue I've got is that my dependent variable is clearly zero-inflated.

mxCI results in 2.18.1 and 2.19.1 are different

I found that the confidence interval computed by adding mxCI in 2.19.1 are different from those in 2.18.1.

This is the code from the example of mxCI:


# From the example of mxCI()

# generate data
covariance <- matrix(c(1.0, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0),
nrow=2,
dimnames=list(c("a", "b"), c("a", "b")))

data <- mxData(covariance, "cov", numObs=100)

help: "Cov" is not positive definite.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your awesome software. I have been working on a TSSEM and once I run my attached codes on the data in the excel file attached, I get the message below after the first stage regression is completed:

In the ACE Model:warning messages during my data analysis

Dear developer:

When I use ACE model to calculate heritability,I got a warning messages during the analysis(See Attachment). Is there a problem with my data and will it affect the results?
when there was a warning message, I found that the estimated results will change under different start values.

Could you please provide me more details?
Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Zhenzhen Luo

checkpoints in tryHard

Hi all,

I'm running large-ish models with mxTryHard, but notice checkpoints aren't an option as with mxRun. Is there still a way to save / load progress as I go?

Thanks!

saving confidence intervals to a separate file

Hello, in asimulation loop I want o to save results for instance confidence intervals for each run in separate file. Hos to do this is rather easy in eg.g. lavaan buit I have trouibles as newbie to find out how to specify the matrix cells for the parameter values i want to save. An example from Jaks book on Meta SEM:

pathmodel= mxModel(title,obs,matrixB,matrixP,matrixI, Ind_pos,Ind_neg,conf,algebraS,exp,fit)
pathmodelOut = mxRun(pathmodel, intervals = TRUE)

# retrieve the output
summary(pathmodelOut)
