I feel really dumb for having to ask this, but here I go anyway... I perform structural equation modeling on a survey, using about 25 variables that create a total of 5 latent variables (factors).
Applying sem (using the sem package) was a piece of cake, even for an (SEM) layman, thanks for THE excellent work here. I have all the variable/path coefficients, A- and P-matrix etc. But now I am stuck with a seemingly simple task. How do I compute the values of my latent variables, using the data I have? I need a table for my factors, showing mean, st.dev, and correlations, as seems common in journals. But I don't seem able to calculate the values that my factors take. How would I go best about to get descriptive statistics and a correlation table for my factors? I searched the archives and read as many articles by John Fox as I could, but this seems way to basic to deserve any mention :-).
