<b>Note:</b> You can get this type of error <b>“…system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition…”,</b> which indicates that the design matrix is not invertible. Thus, it can't be used to develop a regression model. This is due to linearly dependent columns, i.e. strongly correlated variables. Resolve pairwise covariances (or correlations) of your variables to investigate if there are any variables that can potentially be removed. You're looking for covariances (or correlations) >> 0. We can also automate this variable selection by using a forward stepwise regression.

Output

3 parts of the Lavaan SEM output

  • First six lines are called the header contains the following information:
  • lavaan version number
  • lavaan converge info (normal or not), and # iterations needed
  • the number of observations that were effectively used in the analysis
  • the estimator that was used to obtain the parameter values (here: ML)
  • the model test statistic, the degrees of freedom, and a corresponding p-value
  1. Next, is the Model test baseline model and the value for the SRMR
  2. The last section contains the parameter estimates, standard errors (if the information matrix is expected or observed, and if the standard errors are standard, robust, or based on the bootstrap). Then, it tabulates all free (and fixed) parameters that were included in the model. Typically, first the latent variables are shown, followed by covariances and (residual) variances. The first column (Estimate) contains the (estimated or fixed) parameter value for each model parameter; the second column (Std.err) contains the standard error for each estimated parameter; the third column (Z-value) contains the Wald statistic (which is simply obtained by dividing the parameter value by its standard error), and the last column contains the p-value for testing the null hypothesis that the parameter equals zero in the population.

Note: You can get this type of error “…system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition…”, which indicates that the design matrix is not invertible. Thus, it can't be used to develop a regression model. This is due to linearly dependent columns, i.e. strongly correlated variables. Resolve pairwise covariances (or correlations) of your variables to investigate if there are any variables that can potentially be removed. You're looking for covariances (or correlations) >> 0. We can also automate this variable selection by using a forward stepwise regression.
