I am running a path analysis in lavaan
that looks like this:
model <- '''
DV ~ Covariate1 + Covariate2 + Covariate3 +
Predictor0 + Predictor1 + Predictor2 + Predictor3 + Predictor4 +
Predictor1:Predictor3 + Predictor1:Predictor4 + Predictor2:Predictor3 + Predictor2:Predictor4 +
Predictor1:Covariate1 + Predictor2:Covariate1 + Predictor3:Covariate1 + Predictor4:Covariate1 +
Predictor1 ~~ Covariate4
Predictor2 ~~ Covariate4
Predictor3 ~~ Covariate4
Predictor4 ~~ Covariate4
'''
model_fit <- sem(model, data = d, missing = "fiml", estimator = "MLR")
The model runs without problems. However, when I try to estimate marginal effects for the Predictor1×Covariate1 interaction using emmeans
, I get an error:
Covariate1_range <- range(d$Covariate1)
Predictor1_range <- range(d$Predictor1)
model_fit_marg <- emmeans(
model_fit,
~ Predictor1 | Covariate1,
at = list(
Covariate1 = Covariate1_range,
Predictor1 = Predictor1_range
),
data = d,
lavaan.DV = "DV"
)
Error in names(temp_bhat) <- c(par_names, colnames(emmb$V)[!colnames(emmb$V) %in% :
'names' attribute [21] must be the same length as the vector [17]
Note that Covariate1 is num [1:2] 0 1
.
Hope you can save my day!
