Bayesian estimation of single and multilevel models with latent variable interactions. Free Mplus workshops - Dr. MS in Data Science Inquiries: ms-datascience. Mplus availability 2. Saving Mplus command files on the Windows Terminal Server 3. Mplus Defaults Mplus Availability Question: I would like to use Mplus to perform a path analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis, or a structural equation model.
Answer: Mplus was not specifically written for the Windows terminal server environment, so several oddities can arise when you use it in this environment. Following are the default starting values of other parameters: Parameter Default Starting Value Loadings for indicators of latent variables 1. Intercepts and thresholds of observed dependent variables are free.
In single group analysis, means and intercepts of continuous latent variables are fixed to zero. In multiple group analysis, means and intercepts of continuous latent variables are fixed to zero in the first group and are free to be estimated in other groups.
Means and intercepts probabilities of the categorical latent variable are free. Variances of continuous latent independent variables are free. Residual variances of continuous observed dependent variables and continuous latent dependent variables are free. Variances and residual variances of latent response variables for categorical variables are fixed to one.
Following are the default settings for covariances in Mplus: Covariances among observed independent variables are estimated as the sample values. Covariances among continuous latent independent variables are free. They include: Linear regression with multivariate outcomes Probit regression for binary and ordered categorical variables with multivariate outcomes Logistic regression for binary, ordered, and unordered categorical variables Path analysis Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis Confirmatory factor analysis with covariates General structural equation modeling Growth modeling Survival analysis Time series analysis Multilevel modeling General latent variable mixture modeling The Mplus Demo Version is limited only by the number of variables that can be used in an analysis.
Following are the limitations: Maximum number of dependent variables: 6 Maximum number of independent variables: 2 Maximum number of between variables in two-level analysis: 2 Maximum number of continuous latent variables in time series analysis: 2 All features in Mplus Version 8.
Read more about these features. Mplus commands and options are described in A Summary of the Mplus Language. Most of the examples found in the Mplus section can be run using the demo version. These include: cont3, cont6, cont10, mix1-mix6, mix8-mix11, mix14, and penn1-penn7.
Other examples need to be modified to not exceed the limitations described above. The Mplus Demo Version may be copied but may not be altered or sold. Note: Demo Version 8. Installing the Mplus Demo Version. The Mplus Demo Version for Linux operating systems is available only from the command line.
