Hello,

I want to do 1-step method in LCA with continous distal outcome x.
My model is: x-->c-->y, where c is latent class, y is observed categorical indicator.

I want to predict the mean of x from c, ie, E(x|c). How to obtain this from Mplus results?

Thank you!
Shuai

I think you get the x means in each class in the output - request RESIDUAL.

Thank you!

One more question, how to obtain E(x|c), if the model changes to be: c-->y?

You say that your model is c->y, but what role does x play in the model?

Here x is not in the model. I guess now we can not use 1-step method since x is not in the model, but can only use 3-step method by setting x as AUXILIARY. Am I right?

Right.
