hi all,

I'm trying to learn and get used to blavaan, but something is not going well from the first step. I tried several times to run this very simple code from the help, but I get the following error. It looks like some kind of syntax error to me. I tried to find solution for this error... but couldn't make it.

Any simple suggestion wil be highly appreciated. Thank a lot.

Felix

----------------------

Here is the error:

fit <- bsem(model, data = PoliticalDemocracy,+ dp = dpriors(nu = "normal(5,10)", lambda = "normal(1,.5)"))lavaan("\n # latent variable definitions\n ind60 =~ x1 + x2 + x3\n dem60 =~ y1 + a*y2 + b*y3 + c*y4\n dem65 =~ y5 + a*y6 + b*y7 + c*y8\n\n # regressions\n dem60 ~ ind60\n dem65 ~ ind60 + dem60\n\n # residual correlations\n y1 ~~ y5\n y2 ~~ y4 + y6\n y3 ~~ y7\n y4 ~~ y8\n y6 ~~ y8\n", :  lavaan ERROR: unknown argument `cat.wls.w'


And the codes in the help:

model <- '

# latent variable definitions

ind60 =~ x1 + x2 + x3

dem60 =~ y1 + a*y2 + b*y3 + c*y4

dem65 =~ y5 + a*y6 + b*y7 + c*y8

 

# regressions

dem60 ~ ind60

dem65 ~ ind60 + dem60

 

# residual correlations

y1 ~~ y5

y2 ~~ y4 + y6

y3 ~~ y7

y4 ~~ y8

y6 ~~ y8

'

fit <- bsem(model, data = PoliticalDemocracy, dp = dpriors(nu = "normal(5,10)", lambda = "normal(1,.5)"))

summary(fit)

Felix,

Please update your version of lavaan to the newest version on CRAN (0.6-19), then try again. The error message should then disappear, but feel free to reply if not!
