Hi All,
Thanks in advance for your help and time! It is much appreciated.
I have 11 datasets (15 variables: 3 latent/3 indicators each, 2 observed DVs, 4 control variables) and am interested in using TSSEM. However, I'm running into errors and am getting stuck at stage 1. I have uploaded my data, syntax, and output.
For stage 1, I first started off with the fixed effects model and decided that, based on the output, an assumption of homogeneity was not reasonable given the results. I then tried running a random-effects model but received error code 6. I tried following the suggestion given on the error page but got an error message stating that "mxRun can only act on MxModel objects." I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here and am uncertain if it's an issue with my syntax, data, or model.
Additionally, I was had some questions about the second stage. Most of the examples I found illustrated how to set up the matrices and do the analyses for models that looked at the correlations between latent variables. However, for my stage two model, I would like to test a model that includes indirect effects between some of the latent variables, regressions from the latent variables to observed DVs, and control variables. Are there any example syntax available or resources that can help guide me through how to do this?
Finally, is there any way to test for the influence of dataset level variables (e.g., publication year, type of measurement used) outside of using subgroup analysis?
Sincerely,
Anne
