Problems with model specification

Forums
This is what i wrote for my model specification but I'm getting this error
2: In eval(expr, envir, enclos) :
Could not compute QR decomposition of Hessian.
Optimization probably did not converge.

> model.dhp <- specifyModel ()
1: EA_response -> EA_survival,NA,1
2: EA_response -> EA_progeny,gam12
3: EA_response -> EA_progeny_wet_mass,gam13
4: EA_response -> EA_progeny_dry_mass,gam14
5: FC_response -> FC_survival,NA,1
6: FC_response -> FC_progeny,gam22
7: BA_response -> Ba_emergence,NA,1

openmx

Forums
Hi, I just found out about OpenMx and it is exactly the software I was looking for, which is great! I am so happy it works for R, and it has good documentation.

Unfortunately, using OpenMx is somewhat limited due to the NPSOL library, which only supports Linux versions that use the Gnu C Compiler (GCC) up to version 4.6. But that is not helpful on standard Linux systems, such as Fedora 20, which uses gcc 4.8.

Help for Use image analysis software for SEM picures

Forums
I have some TIFF and JPEG SEM pictures of Si3N4 and SiC ceramics, and i would like to use image analysis software such as ImageJ to get info such as grain size distribution, grain counts, grain aspect ratio..., etc. ImageJ has "particle analysis" tool, but i found it not very useful. This could be due to my lack of experience, or because the elongated grains are tangled and too complex for the tool. Next week i have to submit a detailed paper about this topic.

select sample

Forums
I have a real data set consisting of 6148 students. There are six observed variables and two latent variables. I calculate the covariances matrix from data which include 6148. I want to selecet 100 student's data which has the same covariances matrix with the universe. If you help me this regard, I would be very pleasure.

Depends and Imports with OpenMx

Forums
Hi everyone,

I am currently in the process of getting a new package on CRAN. My package uses openMx to estimate SE Models. Normally, to upload a package on CRAN, one would specify what packages are required. For example, I would put the following in my Description file:

Depends: OpenMx, MASS
Imports: OpenMx, MASS

if I had functions that use openmx and the MASS package. And in my Namespace file:

import("OpenMx", "MASS")

Hessian

Forums
What is called the calculated Hessian in OpenMx is that the same as e.g. in LISREL the information matrix (expected Hessian) on which the standard errors are based?

Mx 1.x

Forums
topic for discussing Mx 1.x scripts

Running the script "models/passing/univACE.mx"

I get the following error suggesting that "select if" is referring to a variable name not in the labels list... which is odd, as it clearly is. Any clues?

The following MX script lines were read for group 2
TITLE G2: MZ DATA
