findFactorResidualVar: Find factor residual variances from regression coefficient...

In simsem: SIMulated Structural Equation Modeling

Description

Find factor residual variances from regression coefficient matrix, factor (residual) correlation matrix, and total factor variances for latent variable models. In the path analysis model, this function will find indicator residual variances from regression coefficient, indicator (residual) correlation matrix, and total indicator variances.

Usage

findFactorResidualVar(beta, corPsi, totalVarPsi = NULL, gamma = NULL, covcov = NULL)

Arguments

beta	Regression coefficient matrix among factors
corPsi	Factor or indicator residual correlations.
totalVarPsi	Factor or indicator total variances. The default is that all factor or indicator total variances are 1.
gamma	Regression coefficient matrix from covariates (column) to factors (rows)
covcov	A covariance matrix among covariates

Value

A vector of factor (indicator) residual variances
