Dear R users: I am trying to run a path analysis using sem package in R. But I have encountered one problem, below is my code:
SEMEX<-read.csv("D:/Documents and Settings/z3409964/Desktop/Hospital 1.csv") library(sem) cov.matrixSEMEX<-cov(na.omit(SEMEX)) SEMEX<-specifyModel() CWB->CWB13,NA,1 CWB->CWB23,deviance1 CWB->CWB33,deviance2 CWB->CWB43,deviance3 STA->STA13,NA,1 STA->STA23,citizenship1 STA->STA33,citizenship2 STA->STA43,citizenship3 STA->STA53,citizenship4 SA->SA13,NA,1 SA->SA23,surface1 SA->SA33,surface2 DA->DA13,NA,1 DA->DA23,deep1 DA->DA33,deep2 NA->NA13,NA,1 NA->NA23,negative1 NA->NA33,negative2 PA->PA13,NA,1 PA->PA23,positive1 PA->PA33,positive2 CWB13<->CWB13,error1 CWB23<->CWB23,error2 CWB33<->CWB33,error3 CWB43<->CWB43,error4 STA13<->STA13,error5 STA23<->STA23,error6 STA33<->STA33,error7 STA43<->STA43,error8 STA53<->STA53,error9 SA13<->SA13,error10 SA23<->SA23,error11 SA33<->SA33,error12 DA13<->DA13,error13 DA23<->DA23,error14 DA33<->DA33,error15 NA13<->NA13,error16 NA23<->NA23,error17 NA33<->NA33,error18 PA13<->PA13,error19 PA23<->PA23,error20 PA33<->PA33,error21 CWB<->CWB,var1 STA<->STA,var2 SA<->SA,var3 DA<->DA,var4 PA<->PA,var5 NA<->NA,var6 SA->NA,beta1 NA->CWB,beta2 DA->PA,beta3 PA->OCB,beta4 SA->PA,beta5 DA->NA,beta6 OCB<->CWB,cov2 SEMEX<-sem(SEMEX,cov.matrixSEMEX, nrow(SEMEX)) summary(SEMEX,fit.indices=c("CFI","GFI","AGFI","RMSEA")) Yet the output shows the following: Error in summary.objectiveML(SEMEX, fit.indices = c("CFI", "GFI", "AGFI", : coefficient covariances cannot be computed In addition: Warning message: In vcov.sem(object, robust = robust, analytic = analytic.se) : singular Hessian: model is probably underidentified. Can you help figure out what is going on?
