Multivariate Means Var Model - help

Hi,

I'm unfamiliar with Mx and am still learning SEM concepts - apologies if I'm missing something fundamental with the following.

I've tried adapting a script (one of Hermines) used in the recent twins course for comparing means and variances for a multivariate trait across right and left eyes.

I thought commenting out the 4 MxAlgebra functions across twin order and zygosity would allow me to compare grand means and variances across R and L, but I receive an error message saying that an argument is missing.

Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks heaps,

Paul Sanfilippo
