I'd like to run a seemingly unrelated regression in Mplus, but haven't seen anything on the site about SUR. I did, however, find the code shown below at http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/mplus/output/sureg.htm . Could anyone confirm whether this would be the appropriate way to run SUR in Mplus?

Many thanks!

According the the ATS website, this is correct. I have no reason to doubt this.

As a follow-up, would there be any methodological problems with including a CFA in the same model? For example looking back at the example in my original post, could one include indicators of some of the constructs, something like this?

I can't see that this would be a problem.
