Hello,

I run an ESEM model (WLSMV estimator) using multiple imputation in Mplus version 5.21. All the requested replications were completed and the model gives satisfactory results. However, for all the imputed datasets I get this message in TECH9: "Errors for replication with data file".
Could you please tell me what it could mean, and if i should worry about the model results?

Thank you for your time.

Sorry, just found a thread by Thuy Nguyen posted in "Error Messages" on Monday, September 18, 2006 - 2:34 pm, talking about this issue:

"The "Errors for replication.." is just a heading for each data set. The actual error message for that data set follows."

Is it really the case? It's a bit of a misleading heading, if I may, at least for novice like me.

Cheers.

Yes, it is a heading. If no message occurs, there were no errors.

Hello,

I did a path model and i added TECH9 to the output command. When i run the model i got a massage as above "Errors for replication with data file C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\MGH\Owis\impute\owis31.dat:THE MODEL ESTIMATION TERMINATED NORMALLY". Is that ok? because i didnt get any errors follow that message.

Thanks
Owis

I did a CFA with secondary data. I added weight and cluster to the syntax. After running the CFA model, I got a message as Errors for replication with data file C:\Users\Young-Hee Park\Desktop\000551 2 1 68.101498.

It sounds like you must have the directory name wrong or the data set name wrong. If you can't figure it out, send the output and your license number to support@statmodel.com.
