Good afternoon,
I was hoping you could help me with the following. I have a model with one latent variable, which is represented by two endegenous variables. These endogenous variables depend on other 9 observed exogenous variables.
Since I have the error measurement for the two endogenous variables, I wanted to include them. When I want to specify that, I wonder what is the correct way to do it.
My endogeneous variables are called PNC and FAA and the latent variable is HF. All other variables are the endogenous ones.
My model goes like this:
HF BY PNC@2.16 FAA@1.387;
PNC ON M pH P N OM A;
FAA ON A NN AEN LULC;

I'm not sure if the way of specifying the latent variable and the measurement errors (unstandardized error) of the indicators of the latent variable are correct. If not, how can I properly include the error?

Thanks in advance,
