Mediation analysis termination

[khanson002]

• JASP version: 10.2
• OS name and version: MacOS Mojave 10.14.5
• Analysis: Mediation
• Bug description:
  Have been using the same data for a number of regressions in JASP with no issues. Mediation analysis attempt: two scaled predictors, two scaled mediators, one scaled outcome, received this message:
  This analysis terminated unexpectedly.

Error in rawToChar(as.raw(out)): embedded nul in string: 'X0/x80'

Tried the same predictors and mediators (no error message when only these are entered), with an ordinal outcome. Error message:
Estimation failed
Message:
lavaan ERROR: missing = “fiml” not available in the categorical setting

• Add JASP files as a zip:
• Screenshot:

• Expected behaviour:
• Steps to reproduce: 1. select mediation analysis, 2. drag over selected variables 3. see error

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Could you please add the jasp file as a zip to this thread?

This is a duplicate of #465
A fix for this will *hopefully* be available by next week in JASP 0.11

That’s great, thank you!

It would nonetheless be good to try it out with a test case so we can confirm that it's indeed fixed.

Hi! Is this fixed already?

[AlexanderLyNL]

Hi medbuenaventura,

It's solved. I've even tested this with the jasp files that were included in the issues. If you send me yours I can double check for you as well.

Cheers,
Alexander
