You don't appear to be defining Z here.

Might that be the problem?

Or, I, M, and R may not be defined either. It is unclear. What does mod.cov look like?

Thank you for your advice. So I am sending the whole code

data.dir <- file.path(home.dir, "Data")
file     <- file.path(data.dir, "data4.csv")

SEM <- read.csv(file)
print(SEM)

library(sem)
SEM1 <- as.matrix(cbind(SEM$R1, SEM$I1, SEM$M1))
print(SEM1)
mod.cov <- cov(SEM1)
print(mod.cov)

I <- SEM$I1
M <- SEM$M1
R <- SEM$R1

model <- specify.model()
Z -> M
Z -> I
Z -> R
M <-> M
I <-> I
R <-> R
Z <-> Z

sem.mod <- sem(model, mod.cov, N=109)
summary(sem.mod)



All vectors have a length of 109.


Thank you for your help once again.

Best wishes,
Luba

Luba,

If you could provide the code you ran, perhaps the listserv can be of
help.

Hello,

I use the function sem the following way
sem.mod <- sem(model, mod.cov, N=109) where the variables are
modelled:

Z -> M
Z -> I
Z -> R
M <-> M
I <-> I
R <-> R
Z <-> Z

The output is
...

Normalized Residuals
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
-7.3300 -0.2750 -0.2670 -0.1290 -0.0369 9.0300

Parameter Estimates
Estimate Std Error z value Pr(>|z|)
0.0021625 0.00017037 12.693 0 M <--- Z

Iterations = 13


In "Structural Equation Modeling With the sem Package in R" by John
Fox is stated that there should be an output for each external
variable.

Where is my fault, that I receive the output only for the first
variable?


Thanks for your help,
Luba
