The code below grabs the first 6 variables from myFADataRaw as manifest, but then provides the full n=9-variable covariance matrix to the mxModel

It runs, and gives no warning that half the variables are not modelled. Would be very helpful to say
"variables x-y are included in the covariance matrix, but do not appear in your model!"

or something similar?

#### reduction

require(OpenMx)
data(myFADataRaw); myData = myFADataRaw;
manifests = names(myData)[1:6] # Just the first 6

[1] "x1" "x2" "x3" "x4" "x5" "x6"

latents = c("G")

factorModel = mxModel(
"One Factor", type="RAM",
manifestVars = manifests,
latentVars = latents,
mxPath(from = latents, to=manifests),
mxPath(from = manifests, arrows=2),
mxPath(from = latents , arrows=2, free=F, values=1.0),
mxData(cov(myData), type="cov",numObs=500)
)
summary(mxRun(factorModel))
