umxGxEbiv with 2 moderators

Forums

Hi all,

I'm interested in the moderation effect of an interaction between two moderators on a phenotype of interest. umxGxEbiv is fantastic for one moderator, but does not accept two moderators, even though the Purcell model allows it. Is there a way to use umcGxEbiv with two moderators (and thus estimating their interaction effect as well)?

Thanks!

Changing attributes of the plot in umxGxEbiv

Forums

Hi,

Is there a way to control things in the appearance of the plot that comes with umxGxEbiv? Mainly I would like to change the legend size, line colours and maybe adding dots.

Thanks!

GFI Interpretation using TSSEM

Forums

Dear Mike and Colleagues,

I have conducted a mediating effect MASEM using the random-effect model of TSSEM, and what is surprising me is that R2 is coming 78% and RMSEA is 0.0755 but I am not able to understand how to interpret rest of the indices (SRMR, TLI, CFI) which are going out of range.

How to address too many missing

Forums

Dear Dr. Cheung and colleagues,

We are trying to investigate the predictors of an outcome using longitudinal studies. Yet, there are some studies with only one or two predictors.

Is there an algorithm that allows us to handle missing correlation or remove those correlation matrices containing only one correlation coefficients?

Thanks for your time and patience.

meta() output

Forums

I am conducting a meta-analysis comparing participants with two different diagnoses. All studies in the meta-analysis assess the linguistic construct of interest using both an expressive and a receptive subtask. We are not interested in the expressive vs. receptive contrast, so we would like to run an analysis that includes two (non-independent) effect sizes from each sample and gives us a *single* summary effect size for the construct of interest, rather than separate summary effect sizes for the receptive and expressive subtasks.

multi-group WLS

Forums

Hi Mike,
Hope this finds you well. I'm trying to run a multi-group SEM (twin data) using summary statistics rather than raw data. I have the covariance and asymptotic covariance matrices. I think I'm hitting errors in the way I'm handling the multi-group aspect - as WLS says the following:

Error in withCallingHandlers(expr, warning = function(w) invokeRestart("muffleWarning")) :
(list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'

I've supplied the two matrices as lists - one for each group. The script is attached.

tssem1 model not converging

Forums

Hello,

I am having issues pooling correlation matrices with random effects. I have results from a total of ~30 studies I plan to pool. At this stage, I am trying to pool 11 of these to test things out, but when I run tssem the model never converges.

Joint test of indirect effect x moderator

Forums

Hi Mike,
Hope you're well. I just wondered whether you had a suggestion for getting a single test of a moderator on an indirect (a*b) path using osmasem. Right now I can easily get the indirect effect itself, and estimates of it at high- and low- levels of the moderator, plus regressions of the respective paths on the moderator, but not a joint test of the indirect effect's variability as a function of the moderator... any tips?

Thanks!

Best wishes,

Pasco
