Mx GUI
Forums
Hi All. I hope if this is really a new topic !
I have already used Mx GUI to calculate the ACE for some phenotypes using a simple univariate model. I tried Open Mx as well, but Mx GUI seemed easier for me, since you are not dealing with the scripts.
1- Was that decision correct at all? Would I have different results using Open Mx? (I myself tested, slight changes, but not significant)
2- Now I am moving to a more complex model, a bivariate model. Does anybody know if I can still use Mx GUI for that? I still prefer to use that.

Path diagrams for multilevel SEM
Forums
Just wanted to get some discussion going.
The best method I have seen for diagramming multilevel SEM appears in Mehta and Neale (2005). Their method is very compact, and maps completely onto the matrix expression for two-level models. Random slopes are represented as latent variables with definition variables as loadings. The method has the further benefit of being "collapsible" in that variables treated in a redundant manner can be collapsed into single variables without becoming inconsistent with the matrix expression.

Underlying model for diagrams: Multiple group etc.
Forums
I guess the GUI will have to create a fairly universal underlying script model, allowing it to create the full-spectrum of models.
What underlying script model is the GUI expecting to generate/read? (i.e., should we think about a RAM+ that can handle all models, or pick a suite that covers the bases, expanding as the GUI capability expands?

Welcome to the Graphical User Interface forum
Forums
The work on the OpenMx GUI is just beginning. So this forum will be actively discussing the developments as they occur. We welcome input from the beta testers as well as the developers.
