Appendix: Mplus files

This appendix collects the Mplus syntax and output for the models in the compendium. They come from the workshop on which the compendium is based. The compendium itself works in R, and you do not need these files to follow the chapters. They are here for readers who use Mplus.

Each file is a web page with the Mplus input and the results. Use Open ↗ to view a file and ↓ to download it. The syntax reads the data file data.dat, while the data file that comes with the compendium is data.csv.
