fit.measure error when using runMI on a multiple imputed data set.

[Mohamed Yusuf]

I am trying to get the results of my sem model which uses a dataset that is multiple imputed. I have had no success with this. when I declare `fit.measures = TRUE` in the summary function, I get the below error. Does anybody have a solution for this?

Error in .local(object, ...) : unused argument (fit.measures = TRUE)

# download pacman package if not installed, otherwise load it
if(!require(pacman)) install.packages(pacman)

# loads relevant packages using the pacman package
pacman::p_load(
  dplyr,
  semTools,
  mice )       

# make 10 dataset using mice

boys_imp <- boys %>% 
  mice(.,
       m = 3, 
       cluster.seed = 1234)

# set up model
fit <-  "sem =~ age + bmi + hc + hgt + wgt"

# run model
out1 <- semTools::runMI(fit, 
                        data = nhanes_imp,
                        miPackage = "mice",
                        fun="sem",
                        seed = 12345)


# get results
summary(out1)

Hi!

I am not very familiar with this subject, but I tried your code and the code below worked for me. The only noteworthy difference I made was changing the name of the dataset from nhanes_imp to boys_imp. Could it be that this was just the mistake?

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

# download pacman package
install.packages("pacman")

# loads relevant packages using the pacman package
pacman::p_load(
  dplyr,
  semTools,
  mice )      

# make 10 dataset using mice
boys_imp <- boys %>%
  mice(.,
       m = 3,
       cluster.seed = 1234)

# set up model
fit <-  "sem =~ age + bmi + hc + hgt + wgt"

# run model
out1 <- semTools::runMI(fit,

                        data = boys_imp,   # changed this name!

                        miPackage = "mice",
                        fun="sem",
                        seed = 12345)

# get results

summary(out1, fit.measures = T)

Hi

I think the problem is that you are not loading the semTools package, and calling it with the :: operator

So, run library(semTools) at the begining, and then dont use the :: operator to call the runMI function

Hi both,

I have managed to resolve the issue now. CLosing my project and starting fresh really help the situation

Thank you for your answers!

Many thanks
