Mplus: what could be interesting to know

• No graphical input or output
• No importing data from SPSS or SAS
Mplus
• There are many things that we could do with other programs (as AMOS or LISREL)
Mplus
• Mplus uses latent variables
• They could be here either continuous or categorical
• Observed variables: continuous, ordinal, counts
Continuous observed and latent variables
• Factor analysis models
• Structural equation models
• Growth curve models
• Path analysis
Categorical observed and latent variables
• Latent class models
• Mixture models
• Discrete-time survival models
• Missing data analysis
• Growth models
• Regression (logistic)
• Path analysis
• Factor analysis
• Structural equation models
• Multiple group analysis
Mplus
• Includes not only all the models listed above but also
• Combination of these models
Missing values analysis
• Mplus has FIML
• The program would show the missing data patterns

Multiple cohort model with missing waves
• If datasets have multiple cohorts
• In that case missingness would be not related to other variables
• It would be missing at random
• Mplus has a special analysis: called MCOHORT
• And that deals with such type of data
Growth curve analysis - time
SEM programs
• Cannot have the time vary between individuals
• If the youth are measured each year, it is important that all of them are measured at the same time so they are all one year apart
• Mplus has a way of eliminating this limitation of SEM by allowing each individual to have a different time between measurements
SEM programs
•...
