lavaan: how to analyse residuals of a latent variable
My question is: how can I analyse the part of the variation in fire.setting that is not included in the latent variable criminality? Ideally I would want a new variable that captures just this. Then I could model regressions with this variable as the dependent variable.
You can add a regression line to your model syntax with 'fire.setting' as the dependent variable: fire.setting ~ x1 + x2 + x3 were x1-x3 are additional predictors that might influence the variable 'fire.setting'. Yves Rosseel http://lavaan.org
