I have a path model that includes 3 exogenous variables: 1 continuous and 2 dichotomous. It also has 2 dichotomous mediating variables, and the outcome is continuous. If I include correlations among the 3 exogenous variables, I get a message for each of the two dichotomies that the variable may be dichotomous, but is declared as continuous. However, if I declare these two variables as categorical, I get an error message, indicating that only dependent variables can be declared as categorical. Should the correlations among dichotomous exogenous variables simply be omitted? Thanks! |
