Hello everyone,
I am running a gsem model using the SEM builder and I keep getting this error: parentheses do not balance. I´ve redone the model several times, adding the paths carefully and keep getting the same message. However, if I run the model from my written code it works perfectly.
This is a simplified example of what I´m doing. When I run the code, it converges quickly. When I build the same paths with the SEM builder, at some points it doesn´t work and the error appears.
gsem (age i.marital_st i.parity i.education preg_BMI i.GWG i.breastfeeding-> i.postpartum_w_change, family(multinomial) link(logit)) ///
(age i.marital_st i.parity i.education preg_BMI i.GWG i.breastfeeding-> bmi_72, family(gaussian) link (identity)) ///
(age i.marital_st i.parity i.education preg_BMI i.GWG i.breastfeeding bmi_72->ln_ldl_72, family(gaussian) link (identity)) ///
(postpartum_w_change-> bmi_72 ln_ldl_72, family(gaussian) link (identity)), nocapslatent
I´m assuming that if the model runs with the written code, it is properly specified. However, I´m not sure if I should worry for not being able to run it using the SEM builder. Is there any reason to prefer using the SEM builder vs writing the code?
Thanks
Diana
