Hiya - I seem to be struggling with my analysis tried several ways to resolve the problem and was unsuccessful. I not sure why my variances comes out negative
This is my code
cfa.mr <- 'A.mr =~ AM.numeric + AR.numeric'

fit.cfa.mr <- cfa(cfa.mr,
se = "robust",
data = dat)

summary(fit.cfa.mr,
standardized = TRUE)

this is the output:

Estimator ML
Optimization method NLMINB
Number of model parameters 4

                                              Used       Total

Number of observations 1766 2232
