[R] SEM: multigroup model

2013-05-23 Thread Amarnath Bose
Dear R Gurus,

I am trying to run a multigroup SEM using Prof. John Fox's SEM package.

The two groups are Ready to Eat denoted by RTE and
Ready to Cook denoted by RTC.

I ran a omnibus CFA on the data of consumer perceptions  preferences and
am satisfied with what I got.

When I tried to do a multigroup SEM - my understanding is limited to the
SEM manual in CRAN - using the code below, I get the following message:
  Error in summary.msemObjectiveML(sem.MG) :
 no 'dimnames' attribute for array
   Execution halted

The relevant part of my code follows:
mod.mg - multigroupModel(sbmod.cfa,groups=c(RTC,RTE))

sem.MG - sem(mod.mg,data=srt,group=RTind,
  formula = ~ inv + imp + tch + emo + loy + usg + sig + dif + ndif
+
vda + vdb + vdc + vdd + vde + vdf + vdg + vdh +
riskT + riskP + riskS + riskFi + riskFu + riskPs

)
summary(sem.MG)

I was expecting two sets of fit indices for RTE  RTC and want to do an
ANOVA
across the models; as well as possibly check for loading equivalence.

Can somebody please throw some light on where I am making a mistake?

Thanks
Amarnath Bose

Dear Amarnath Bose,

There's nothing obviously wrong with the commands that you report -- in
fact, your commands have the same structure as the multigroup SEM example in
?sem -- so the usual advice about including reproducible code producing the
error applies. If you like, you could send me your data and the complete R
script that you used.

Best,
 John
