Re: soultions using xfa

Dear Craig,

re In the model below I want to get solutions for TREE and FAM at the 4
different levels of SD. In the sln file there seems to be 5 solutions for
TREE, 4 for the levels of SD and another one. I am unsure how to use
PREDICT for this model?

First, the 5th solution relates to the factor (in the factor analytic
model). See the papers by Smith for
a better explanation.

So the prediction you want will be something like (I havn't looked too
closely at your job).

predict TREE FAM SD 1 2 3 4 !present TREE FAM

His name was called Jesus (Jehovah saviour) because He came, not to
condemn
the world, but that the world might be saved. May God bless you this
Christmas.

        Subject: soultions using xfa

Hi Folks
I am wanting to get solutions for a random factor at different levels of
the second factor where the Var/Cov matix has been estimated using xfa.
i.e In the model below I want to get solutions for TREE and FAM at the 4
different levels of SD. In the sln file there seems to be 5 solutions for
TREE, 4 for the levels of SD and another one. I am unsure how to use
PREDICT for this model?
Ta a lot for any help
