I don't use sem, but I don't see why you need it for this. This is a simple regression problem, so far as I can tell. I think you need to do some reading of the R documentation. What are A, B, and C? They should be vectors. That was the point of my comment about rowMeans. You seem to be guessing and relying on authority instead of trying to understand. -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
