I am trying to extract a linear equation of the regression estimation of a model performed on the AMOS program. I have one latent endogenous latent variable, one latent mediator, and one latent exogenous variable. To extract a regression equation, I have relied on the following formula:
Z = Intercept + aX + bY + error
where X is the exogenous variable and Y is the mediator. a and b are standardized loading factors
Knowing that AMOS does not provide the intercept value of the latent endogenous variable, how can I calculate it?
Is it sufficient to consider the error variance calculated by AMOS as the error value?
