Error with sem function at R : differences in factors -

-

i wanted use function sem (with package lavaan) on data in r : 

model1<- 'transfer~amotivation+gender+age amotivation~gender+age  transfer 4 questions 5 point likert scale  amotivation: 4 questions 5 pint likert scale gender: 0 (=male) , 1 (=female) age: different ages

and got next error:

in getdatafull (data= data, group =  group, grow.label = group.label,: lavaan warning: observed variances (at least) factor 100 times larger others; please rescale

is familiar error? influence results? have change anything? don't know error means.

your scales not equivalent. gender variables constrained either 0 or 1. amotivation constrained between 1 , 5, age less constrained. created sample data gender, age, , amotivation. can see variance age variable on 4,000 times higher variance gender, , 500 times higher sample amotivation data.

gender  <- c(0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1) age <- c(18,42,87,12,24,26,98,84,23,12,95,44,54,23,10,16) set.seed(42) amotivation <- rnorm(16, 3, 1.5) var(gender)      #    0.25 variance var(age)         # 1017.27 variance var(amotivation) #    2.21 variance

i'm not sure how unequal variances influence results, or if need @ all. make age variable more closely match amotivation scale, transform data it's on 5 point scale.

newage <- age/max(age)*5 var(newage) # 2.65 variance

you try running analysis both ways (using original data , transformed data) , see if there differences.

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...

Image
i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
