IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Gets one element of a matrix of estimates.
Syntax
result = object.GetEstimate (matrixID, rowVariableName, columnVariableName)
result = object.GetEstimate (matrixID, rowVariableName, columnVariableName, groupNumber)
result = object.GetEstimate (matrixID, row, column)
result = object.GetEstimate (matrixID, row, column, groupNumber)
The GetEstimates method syntax has the following parts:
Part |
Description |
result |
(Double) The scalar value in the specified row and column of the matrix. |
object |
An object of type AmosEngine. |
matrixID |
An integer that specifies a matrix of estimates, as described in Settings. |
rowVariableName |
The name of a variable that labels a row of the matrix. |
columnVariableName |
The name of a variable that labels a row of the matrix. |
row |
(Integer) A row number. The rows are numbered starting with 0. |
column |
(Integer) A column number. The columns are numbered starting with 0. |
groupNumber |
Optional integer specifying a group number. The first group is group number 1. If groupNumber is omitted, the first group is used. |
Placement: [3].

Remarks
You have to use NeedEstimates to declare that estimates of a matrix will be needed before you can use GetEstimate to obtain the estimates. For example, you have to use
object.NeedEstimates (StandardizedTotalEffects)
before using
object.GetEstimate (StandardizedTotalEffects, …)
