Bivariate ACE model with moderator

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project on how school achievement moderates intelligence among young adults. My sample consists of 4,084 German twins aged 17 and 23-24, respectively, who have information on both GPA and intelligence. However, the twins' GPAs come from various types of secondary schools so to check whether I need to use school type as a moderator in my GxE analyses, I first want to see what happens if I run separate bivariate variance decomposition analyses for the three school types constraining their parameters equal.

How does OpenMx handle missing data with WLS?

I might be missing something obvious, but as far as I can tell, this isn't explicated anywhere. How does OpenMx deal with missing data for WLS? Is it listwise/pairwise or is the polychoric covariance matrix computed using FIML?

2-class growth mixture model: adding time-invariant covariates & viewing class probabilities

Hi,

I am wondering if I can get some help on a 2-class growth mixture model I'm having trouble with (script and example dataset attached). The model describes a single linear trajectory across 8 time-points (t1-t8). I'm new to OpenMx and I've looked through this forum/other sites but I'm at a loss. I'm trying to (i) add 3 time-invariant covariates ('Sex', 'Age', 'pooled_VA') to the 2-class growth mixture model and (ii) view the class probabilities for each case.

Install OpenMx in AWS Rstudio (R version 3.4.1)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install OpenMx in AWS Rstudio with R version 3.4.1. I've tried the following ways:

> install.packages("OpenMx")
Installing package into ‘/home/Vero_BLSGMM/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

and

> source('https://openmx.ssri.psu.edu/software/getOpenMx.R')

Neither worked. Any advice or suggestion on this situation? Thanks in advance.

Constraints

Hi Open Mx Folks

I'm trying to construct a model where I need to implement a constraint across groups. My model is of the form:

Mxgroup1 {
matrix A
matrix B
}
Mxgroup2 {
matrix C
matrix D
}

And I want to employ the constraint A + B = C + D

Any ideas how I can do this?

Error: [...] fit is not finite

Dear OpenMx experts/users,

I am using an ACE univariate script with AE, CE and E nested models. I think that the script itself is good and makes sense, however, using a relatively small dataset (40 MZ pairs; 25 DZ pairs) (this is fMRI data), I get the following error message:
