[R] Confirmatory factor analysis problems using sem package (works in Amos)

2009-05-22 Thread S. Messing
Hello all, I'm trying to replicate a confirmatory factor analysis done in Amos. The idea is to compare a one-factor and a two-factor model. I get the following warning message when I run either model: "Could not compute QR decomposition of Hessian. Optimization probably did not converge." I h
