I am adapting the attached bivariate script to a 4-variable version. I have expanded the X, Y, and Z matrices to to 4-variables, changed Y to accomodate and AE model. After the follow part of the script:

DZ Model Stuff

mxModel("DZ",

#Pull out data and covariates for DZs
mxData(data.frame(dzData,dzDefs), type="raw" ),
mxMatrix( type="Full", nrow=1, ncol=ndef, free=FALSE, labels=c("data.age_T1","data.SITE_T1"), name="D1"), #twin1 (N)
mxMatrix( type="Full", nrow=1, ncol=ndef, free=FALSE, labels=c("data.age_T2","data.SITE_T2"), name="D2"), #twin2 (O)
mxAlgebra( expression= D1 %% ACE.beta, name="D1R"),
mxAlgebra( expression= D2 %
% ACE.beta, name="D2R"),
# Algebra for expected Mean in DZ
mxAlgebra( expression= cbind((ACE.mu + D1R),(ACE.mu + D2R)), name="expMean"),
mxFIMLObjective( covariance="ACE.expCovDZ", means="expMean", dimnames=selVars )
),
mxAlgebra( expression=MZ.objective + DZ.objective, name="neg2sumll" ),
mxAlgebraObjective("neg2sumll")
)
I ge the following error:

Error: Illegal number of elements (3) for free matrix of lower matrix constructor

I consulted a colleague, who tells me he suspects it has to do with problems OpenMx is having with definition variables. I commented out the lines:

# mxMatrix( type="Full", nrow=1, ncol=ndef, free=FALSE, labels=c("data.age_T1","data.SITE_T1"), name="D1"), #twin1 (N)
# mxMatrix( type="Full", nrow=1, ncol=ndef, free=FALSE, labels=c("data.age_T2","data.SITE_T2"), name="D2"), #twin2 (O)
but still get the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Tom

Try using the traceback

Try using the traceback() function when you get an error. Also, it's a good idea to report any problems with definition variables to the OpenMx forums. We are not aware of any problems at this time.
