Hello, I would like to specify a latent interaction according to the unconstrained approach. To this end, I have to set equal the covariance between the latent first-order factors (f1, f2) and the mean of the latent product variable (f1xf2). I used the following instructions in the syntax:
f1 with f2 (x);
[f1xf2] (x);
However, I got different values for the covariance and mean. Is there another way to speficy? Thanks! |

I don't know what the unconstrained approach is - but why not use the Mplus approach of Web Note 23:
Asparouhov, T, & Muthén, B. (2019). Latent variable interactions using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian estimation for single- and two-level models. Mplus Web Notes: No. 23. May 3, 2019. (Download the Section 4 Bayes examples) |
