I have a path diagram with meanstructure. I wouuld like to omit all zero-valued manifest variable intercepts from the path diagram, but, in reading the fine manual, cannot see how to specify the path from the mean to the manifest variable. E.g., code looks like:
proc calis data=Simulated meanstr method=fiml plots=pathdiagram;
pathdiagram mean=path nofittable dh=1200 ;
factor
Growth ===> x1-x16=L1-L16;
mean Growth=MGrowth,
x1=0,
x2=0,
...
x16=0;
pvar
Growth = 1.,
x1-x16 = e1-e16;
thanks for any help!
thanks so the wonderful folks at SAS, the solution is:
to use the OMITPATH option, e.g.:
pathdiagram mean=path nofittable dh=1200 dw=1000 omitpath=[1->x1-x16];
