Hello!
I hope you are well.
I have a question about moderation.
It worked perfectly with Catastrophe as predictor and distress as moderator (with a selection of dependent variables)
I am trying to do the samewith Accidents as predictor but the outcome is NaN. I can't find the text in the data...
Please could you help me?
Thank you
Lottie

I think the problem is with distress - I might have clicked on something wrong...

If you could have a glance at the dataset I would be so grateful!

hi bellsie,

moderation isn't something i know much about, but hopefully someone else will chime in.

cheers

hi bellsie,

we're not sure what the issue is here. the medmod analyses rely on a package called 'lavaan', and NaN is just the results that lavaan provides here. i think the issue stems from the extreme values in the DISTRESS variable.

if i apply the filter DISTRESS < 50 this filters out 3 cases, and i receive a result. looking at the DISTRESS variable, it seems highly skewed, and in lots of other analyses a lot transform can be appropriate, but i don't know enough about medmod to say if that would be appropriate here.

cheers

jonathon

I cannot thank you enough! You are all stars!
