[R] SEM with dichotomous indicators

2005-10-16 Thread Renata
Hello, I'd like to know if there is a way to fit a Structural equation model with dichotomous indicators (ex: problem with a phone solved/ or not) having effects on a ordinal variable. How I do that using R? Do you have an example with the code in R that you can send to me? Thanks a lot!
