Hello
I wonder... is there any way to increase the speed in Stata's SEM or gSEM analyses? Every time I try -sem- og -gsem- I give up due to speed issues. Admittedly, I don't do many simple SEM analyses.
For instance: a multilevel CFA (one latent factor with three indicators across 28 groups, but mind you: N = 50,000) takes forever and I give up, cancel the estimation and see no point in developing the model further. For comparison: Mplus takes less than 3 seconds to estimate the same model!
