Gets a matrix of estimates.

Syntax

object.GetEstimates (matrixID, theMatrixBase0)

object.GetEstimates (matrixID, theMatrixBase0, groupNumber)

The GetEstimates method syntax has the following parts:

Part

Description

object

An object of type AmosEngine.

matrixID

An integer that specifies a matrix of estimates, as described in Settings.

theMatrixBase0

A double precision array, dimensioned in the calling routine as

Dim theMatrixBase0() As Double

or as

Dim theMatrixBase0(,) As Double

On return from GetEstimates theMatrixBase0 contains the estimate of the matrix specified by matrixID.

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].

Settings

The settings for matrixID are:

Constant

Value

Description

SampleCovariances

13

Sample covariances.

SampleCorrelations

14

Sample correlations.

SampleMeans

15

Sample means.

ImpliedCovariances

10

The implied covariances among the observed variables in the model.

ImpliedCorrelations

11

The implied correlations among the observed variables in the model.

ImpliedMeans

12

The implied means of the observed variables in the model.

AllImpliedCovariances

7

The implied covariances among all variables in the model, with the exception of residual variables.

AllImpliedCorrelations

8

The implied correlations among all variables in the model, with the exception of residual variables.

AllImpliedMeans

9

The implied means of all variables in the model, with the exception of residual variables.

DirectEffects

19

Direct effects.

IndirectEffects

20

Indirect effects.

TotalEffects

5

Total effects.

StandardizedDirectEffects

22

Standardized direct effects.

StandardizedIndirectEffects

23

Standardized indirect effects.

StandardizedTotalEffects

21

Standardized total effects.

FactorScoreWeights

6

Factor score weights.

Remarks

You have to use NeedEstimates to declare that estimates of a matrix will be needed before you can use GetEstimates to obtain the estimates. For example, you have to use

object.NeedEstimates (StandardizedTotalEffects)

before using

object.GetEstimates (StandardizedTotalEffects, …)
