Fake Latents
Hi,
Snuffling around in MxPPMLR I see
# IN DEVELOPMENT
# Fake Latents
# There are multiple ways to specify the error variance terms. There is the
# usual, direct way of allowing the term in the S matrix to be free, but it
# can also be specified using latent variables.
#
# This segment adjusts the model so that all error variance is specified using
# only the S matrix, without any latent variables
This raised a question for me.
I guess this is designed to do change this:

AIC etc in multi-group RAM models
hi all,
Running a 2 group RAM model. Both sub-models return their fit indices in summary(), and the supermodel runs fine, with a summed objective.
However... while the supermodel knows about the submodel's observations etc (as shown in the print out below) it doesn't compute an AIC for the the supermodel
Bug/Missing code?
observed statistics: 156
estimated parameters: 79
degrees of freedom: 77
-2 log likelihood: 46372.74
saturated -2 log likelihood: NA
number of observations: 6000
chi-square: NA
p: NA

Bivariate or multivariate correlated factors model script
I am super new to twin analyses, R, Mx and the whole shebang ... I am wondering if anyone has a script for a bivariate or multivariate correlated model. I have been using the Cholesky Decomposition, Independent Pathways and Common Pathways models to look at my multivariate data and would like to be able to at the data from a correlated factors perspective.
Any help much and greatly appreciated!

Lagrange Multiplier Test
Hi, is there a way to get the Lagrange Multiplier Test with OpenMx? I am usually not a fan of this type of data-driven test but I am currently analyzing a dataset where a LM Test might help me understand what is going on. I am running a four-factor CFA model with three indicators. The fit is OK but not great. The correlation residuals tell me that I am drastically underestimating the relationship between one indicator of the first factor and one indicator of the second factor.

How to get the correlation residuals with the new version of OpenMx?
Hi,
I recently downloaded the most recent version of OpenMx. Since then I am no longer able to get the model-implied covariance matrix, and therefore, the correlation residuals. Before, the following script would get me the correlation residuals:
residuals <- cov2cor(covmatrix) - cov2cor(modelfit$objective@expCov)
round(residuals, digits=4)
My data are in "covmatrix", a symmetric covariance matrix. The result of the mxRun is stored in "modelfit")

RAM estimation from covariance matrix where ns differ per cell
hi all,
When mxData is a cov or cor matrix, numObs is just one number.
Quite often the cells in a covariance matrix could take advantage of different numbers of observations.
Two questions: has anyone made RAM models with an "numObs" matrix to give a per-cell n? And second, are the assumptions of a covariance-based model violated if all data do not come from complete subjects?

Error: in slot(model, name) : no slot of name ".forcesequential" for this object of class "MxModel"
I previously ran analyses in OpenMx and saved the R workspace so that I could get the information at a later date.
The Error: in slot(model, name) :
no slot of name ".forcesequential" for this object of class "MxModel"
Occurs when I call
summary(mxModelFit)
On a Mac running 10.7.3, R v. 2.14.2, OpenMx v. 1.2.3-2011
However, when I use the same call (after loading the same R workspace file) on a different Mac running 10.7.3, R v. 2.14.0, OpenMx v. 1.1.2-1818, I do not get the error.

64-bit version of OpenMx
Hello.
I read that 64-bit version of OpenMx is under development. Do you have any time frame when approximately it will be available? I am just running an analysis that take a LOT of time since 32-bit R uses only 4 GB of RAM.
Is there an advantage of installing OpenMx on a 64-bit Windows machine even though using 32-bit OpenMx?
Thank you beforehand.
