Hi, I am trying to run a path analysis to test for direct and indirect effects (see figure). I used the Lavaan package and run a SEM with the following model:
modelo<-'Conc.brix2~c*dummy.aphid
Vol.micL2~e*dummy.aphid
seed.set~d*Conc.brix2+f*Vol.micL2+g*dummy.aphid
directo := g
indirecto := c*d
indirecto2 := e*f
total:=g+(c*d)+(e*f)
Conc.brix2~~Vol.micL'
When I fit the model and ask the summary I obtain p-values and regression estimates.
My questions:
are the regression estimates the same as the path coefficients?
If not, is it possible to obtain path coefficients using lavaan?
Thanks!
