Re: [R] sem problem - did not converge

Dear Felipe, Without the data or the input covariance or correlation matrix it's not possible to say much. sem() would have complained if the input moment matrix weren't positive-definite, so your check of the eigenvalues of the matrix isn't providing additional information. If you haven't al

Re: [R] sem problem - did not converge

You have a fairly large and complex model there. This sort of model (almost) always causes problems. I would try fitting one factor at a time. That might help you to narrow down the problem. If one factor doesn't converge, the whole model won't converge. You might also consider joining the str
