[R] sem: standardized covariance estimates

2007-03-06 Thread Mike Allerhand
Dear all,

How do I get the standardized covariance (the correlation) between two 
latent variables?
'standardized.coefficients' gives standardized path coefficients, but 
not covariances.
The covariance estimates are easily obtained from fit$coeff or 
'summary',  but
EQS reports both the covariance and the correlation, how can I get that?

best wishes,  Mike

Dear Mike,

I don't believe that I've provided a way to get these correlations
automatically, but you can, of course, just divide the covariance by the
product of the standard deviations.

I hope this helps,
 John
