I am working on a two level SEM model, this is syntax: VARIABLE: NAMES = clus a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w; USEVARIABLES ARE a b c d f g h k l m o p q r s t u v w; WITHIN = a b c d f g h o q r s t u v w; BETWEEN = a b c d k l m p q r s t u v w; CLUSTER = clus; ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL RANDOM; STARTS ARE 0; MODEL: %OVERALL% EN BY s t u; BU BY v w; DE BY a b c d; OUT BY q r; MODEL: %WITHIN% JR1 BY e f g; e f g @ 0; DE ON o BU EN OUT; JR1 ON o BU EN OUT; o ON BU EN OUT; JR1; o; %BETWEEN% JR2 BY k l m; k l m @ 0; DE ON p BU EN OUT; JR2 ON p BU EN OUT; p ON BU EN OUT; JR2; p; Output: tech1 tech8 STANDARDIZED; I get such a warning: *** ERROR in MODEL command The labels %BETWEEN% or %WITHIN% must be specified. how to specify %BETWEEN% or %WITHIN%? Best, Qiao |

I think the problem is that you can't have the same set of variable on the BETWEEN and WITHIN lists. See the user's guide for a description of what these options mean. |

Dear Linda, Do you mean my fault is the varaibles in the command of WITHIN and BETWEEN, but I get the same warning after redefine the commands. VARIABLE: NAMES = clus a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w; USEVARIABLES ARE a b c d f g h k l m o p q r s t u v w; WITHIN = f g h o; BETWEEN = k l m p; CLUSTER = clus; ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL; STARTS ARE 0; MODEL: %OVERALL% EN BY s t u; BU BY v w; DE BY a b c d; OUT BY q r; BU EN ON OUT; %WITHIN% JR1 BY f g h; DE ON o BU EN OUT; JR1 ON o BU EN OUT; o ON BU EN OUT; %BETWEEN% JR2 BY k l m; DE ON p BU EN OUT; JR2 ON p BU EN OUT; p ON BU EN OUT; Output: tech1 tech8 STANDARDIZED; Best, Qiao |

%overall% does not belong in the MODEL command unless you have TYPE=MIXTURE. See the Example in Chapter 9 for TYPE=TWOLEVEL. |

Dear Linda, I redefine the ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL MIXTURE; But I get such a warning: This analysis is only available with the Combination Add-On. that means I need the Mplus Base Program and Combination Add-On to conduct my analysis? I just bought the Mplus Base Program and Multilevel Add-On a few days ago, how ccould I do, to buy a new one again? or upgrade my current one? Best regards, Qiao |

Check your data and format statement. Between Cluster ID with variation in this variable Variable (only one cluster ID will be listed) K 5 L 5 M 5 P 5 What does it mean? Best, Qiao |

It means that for cluster 5, the variables mentioned do not have the same values. For further help, send the output, data, and your license number to support@statmodel.com. |
