Hi All,
I am building an SEM model using PROC CALIS PATH analysis.
My dependent variable is HIV Status i.e either positive or negative.
Some of my other variables are categorical/binary e.g condom use (0/1), pregnant_ever (0/1)
In the model I put together, it seems to run but with the following error that suggests a poor fit "WARNING: Standard errors and t values might not be accurate with the use of the Moore-Penrose inverse."
I was wondering if someone can advise me on the best way to fix this error...or point me to some relevant literature fitting SEM PATH with a categorical dependent variable.
