Hi,

I'm trying to run a multiple group logistic regression. I hope to compare the model without constraints and the model for which the regression coefficients are constrained to be equal across groups. The problem is that I have to use TYPE=COMPLEX with population weights and replicate weights to draw inference because the data is from a large-scale survey. It seems that DIFFTEST doesn't work with TYPE=COMPLEX. Is there another way to do model comparison test if I have to use TYPE=COMPLEX and plug in weights in my analysis?

Thank you very much!

It sounds like you are using WLSMV if you are using DIFFTEST. WLSMV give probit regression not logistic regression. You can use MLR and do difference testing and obtain logistic regression.

The estimator I used is WLSMV.

So use MLR instead.

Thank you, Dr.Muthen! As I also have missing data (which I coded as 99), which estimator is better in my situation?

MLR has better missing data handling.

Dr.Muthen,

I've tried MLR, but it doesn't work because it's not allowed with TYPE=COMPLEX and replicate weights, and my outcome variable is categorical. Does that mean WLSMV is the only choice for my analysis?

Thank you!

WLSMV is your only option for categorical and replicate weights.
