IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Assigns values to the matrix of sample covariances. This method should not be used if means/intercepts are explicit model parameters, because it sets the vector of sample means to zero. (Use PutSampleMoments instead.)
Syntax
object.PutSampleCovariances (covarianceMatrix)
object.PutSampleCovariances (covarianceMatrix, groupNumber)
The PutSampleCovariances method syntax has the following parts:
Part |
Description |
object |
An object of type AmosEngine. |
covarianceMatrix |
A two-dimensional array of type double. The dimensions of covarianceMatrix must exactly match the dimensions of the sample covariance matrix. |
groupNumber |
Optional. A group number. The first group is group number 1. If groupNumber is omitted, the first group is used. |
Placement: [3].
Remarks
One technique for performing sampling studies consists of the repeated use of PutSampleCovariances and FitModel.
