SAM and ESEM : Error in information + crossprod(H)

[Nathan Pudles]

Hi,

I'm trying to fit a model with SAM within the ESEM framework, which returns the following error message:

Error in information + crossprod(H) : non-conformable arrays

I'm using lavaan version  0.6.21.2434.

Here's an example using the data of study 1 from Marsh and Alamer (2024) 

(https://osf.io/mhqdx/overview?view_only=93b57af843254c3e8fbbd31a585123a8) :

> model <- ' ##Measurement #Block 1 efa("teacher")*Teacher_autonomy + efa("teacher")*Teacher_competence + efa("teacher")*Teacher_relatedness =~ T_autonomy1 + T_autonomy2 + T_autonomy3 + T_competence1 + T_competence2 + T_competence3 + T_relatedness1 + T_relatedness2 + T_relatedness3

#Block 2

efa("self")*Self_Meaning + efa("self")*Self_Confidence + efa("self")*Intrinsic_Motivation =~ S_meaning1 + S_meaning2 + S_meaning3 + S_confidence1 + S_confidence2 + S_confidence3 + S_Intrinsic1 + S_Intrinsic2 + S_Intrinsic3 #Block 3 Intent_to_Quit =~ Intent_to_withdraw1 + Intent_to_withdraw2 + Intent_to_withdraw3 + Intent_to_withdraw4 + Intent_to_withdraw5 ##Structural part Self_Meaning ~ Teacher_autonomy + Teacher_competence + Teacher_relatedness Self_Confidence ~ Teacher_autonomy + Teacher_competence + Teacher_relatedness Intrinsic_Motivation ~ Teacher_autonomy + Teacher_competence + Teacher_relatedness Intent_to_Quit ~ Self_Meaning + Self_Confidence + Intrinsic_Motivation + Teacher_autonomy + Teacher_competence + Teacher_relatedness '

sam_res <- sam(model = model, data = data_ex, mm.list = list(teacher = c("Teacher_autonomy", "Teacher_competence", "Teacher_relatedness"), self = c("Self_Meaning", "Self_Confidence", "Intrinsic_Motivation"), Quit = "Intent_to_Quit"), mm.args = list(estimator = "MLR"), struc.args = list(estimator = "ML"), sam.method = "local", std.lv = TRUE, rotation = "geomin", rotation.args = list(geomin.epsilon = 0.001), output = "lavaan")

Error in information + crossprod(H) : non-conformable arrays

Best regards,

Nathan

Hi,

Just by looking at the error message, I think it is related to a small bug that was fixed a few months ago. Try a newer version of lavaan. 

If that doesn't work, I will look into it more carefully. 

Best, 

Felipe.

Hi, 

In the end, I checked it, and I was wrong. It seems to be a bug that creates a dimension mismatch. 

I will try to fix it or file an issue on GitHub. 

Best, 

Felipe.
