Hi, I'm running some (relatively) straightforward mediation models, with a categorical outcome. I run a model with a predictor of the outcome: outcome on predictor1 predictor2; And then I add a couple of mediators to the model, and run it again, with the model indirect: option - outcome on predictor1 predictor2 mediator1 mediator2; mediator1 mediator2 on predictor1 predictor2; mediator1 with mediator2; outcome ind predictor1; outcome ind predictor2; I would have thought that the total effect from the indirect command was equal to the effect for the outcome on the mediator for the first model, but it's not. It's similar - 0.095 vs 0.105. Is there an obvious reason that I'm missing why not? (there are a couple of control variables in the model as well. the model has 0 df). Thanks, jeremy |

Oops. I'd left estimator=ML in one of the files. That explains it. Thanks for making me look again. |
