Hello statlist
I am fairly new to Stata and completely new to the sem() function.
I have previously used MPlus, where it is common to have data files in a format like this:
79.75 0.97 81.96 109.16
14.18 0.58 54.24 10.40
1
0.34 1
0.59 0.39 1
0.38 0.13 0.29 1
where we have a row vector for the means of each variable, a row for their standard deviations, a lower triangular matrix for correlations, and the number of observations is input separately.
Is there a way to get Stata to handle this kind of input without having the simulate the data myself ?
Thanks
Robert Long
