Thank you forthe very helpful tutorial. At 5:20, you type in a value into the vector which is not in the correlation table. Is that an error?

Thank you so much, Erin! Your lesson was very useful.

Hi Dr Buchanan, I would like to ask if I could test for mediation effects in this path model that you've created. For example, does cognitive ability mediate the relationship between race and academic achievement? Or does SES and school type mediate the relationship between race and academic achievement?

Excellent lesson, thanks for sharing it!

Dear Dr. Erin, Thank your for the helpful videos. I have howeve a question: you start your analysis based on the correlation tables. What do you do when you have categorical endogeneous variable? Thanks in advance, regards.

Thank you, this is a very helpful video. However, I cannot find anywhere how to model the moderation effect, which is different from mediation. I need to see whether Variable B strengthens the relationship between variable A and B. Thank you in advance for the response. I really need it.

Hi Dr Erin
I have a query.
How can I load the efa table from spss into R to carry out CFA?
Regards

[@TheHorizons10]

Thank you for reverting..Dr Erin
Pretty much yes...I want to compare the CFA model of AMOS with R..or if I could just load the complete raw data to get EFA and CFA simultaneously..its a big sample beyond 3k.

Thank you so much would you kindly direct me to any example or any such video tutorial plz.

Thank you once again Dr Erin. much obliged.
