Partial Correlations in TSSEM
Dear users of metaSEM,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with calculating partial correlations in stage 1 of TSSEM in the metaSEM package.
Here is the description:
Let’s say we have 3 variables (A, B, C) in our path model. A is the IV, B is the mediator, and C is the DV. When I run TSSEM stage 1, it will result in pooling a matrix of pairwise correlations. So far so good, no problem here.

Problem with the new OSMASEM-Function
Dear Mike & colleagues,
I'm currently sitting at a moderator analysis with the new OSMASEM approach (continuous moderators in MASEM - yeah!).

Is it possible to impose constrains in TSSEM2?
Dear all,
I'm performing a meta-analysis (data, code, an picture of the desired model attached) using TSSEM.
At the second stage, I would like to test whether the effect a1 is equal to b1, whether a2=b2, and whether a3=b3. Is there any way of constraining these parameters in stage 2? If so, what is the code to do that?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!!
Kind Regards,
Belen

error message on TSSEM1-not positive definition
Dear Mike,
My name is Jing Niu and I am working on a metaSEM research.When I apply the tssem1 function on my dataset, I got the error message saying:
> stage1fixed <- tssem1(Cov=my.vec, n=samplesize, method="FEM")
Error: The observed covariance matrix is not a positive-definite matrix:
1 or more elements of eigen(covMatrix)$values <= 0
In addition: Warning message:
In tssem1FEM(Cov = Cov, n = n, cor.analysis = cor.analysis, model.name = model.name,

Error message on TSSEM1
Dear Mike,
My name is B.I.Chung. I am writing a paper by MASEM analysis by using TSSEM procedure guided in your paper "Meta-analytic structural equation modeling". I sincerely appreciate all your explanation on the procedure of TSSEM in detail.
I prepared a correlation data for TSSEM from my previous meta-analysis and at the stage1 of Random-effects model, I am in trouble with below error message:

Hi Mike;
I have three questions regarding TSSEM for testing a fully mediated structural model. I will appreciate your advice.

Error in running fixed effect TSSEM1 with clusters
Dear Mike and others,
I would like to conduct a fixed effect MASEM with clusters and I am stuck when I try to run TSSEM1. At first I tried to use a cluster variable that I labeled, and then I tried to use the cluster variable without labels (just "0" and "1" codes). I got different error messages each time.

METASEM with 3 variables
Hello,
We would like to conduct a METASEM for a model with three variables: Mov (dependant); Psy & pai (independent).
I used the R codes available in Cheung and in Hagger 2018. Unfortunately, I have an error to determine the indirect effect of Pai on Mov through Psy. I can only have the direct effects between the three variables.
I think the problem occurs in stage 2 :

Cov is not positive definite in tssem2
Hi Mike,
Thank you so much answering all these questions on this forum. I was able to solve a lot of practical problems I ran into in my study.
But I am not sure how to solve this one properly: (code and data attached)
I successfully ran the tssem1 with my data, and was informed the Cov is not positive definite in the second stage.
I am a little bit confused as the result for tssem1 looks normal.
