Hello Dr. Muthen,
I wonder if I bootstrap a complex survey data set (with sampling weights)in Mplus, will weights be generated automatically while each time I am bootstrapping them?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Bing

That is correct - see section 2.1

Thank you, Dr. Asparouhov.

But what if I use type=twolevel instead of type=complex in the analysis command? Do the same commands in the analysis part work as well? Will I still get replicate weights if I use the same commands as you provided in the paper?

ANALYSIS: TYPE=TWOLEVEL;
RESPSE=BOOTSTRAP;
BOOTSTRAP=500;


Thank you.

Best wishes,

Bing

Dear Dr. Asparouhov,
What is the difference between type=complex and type=twolevel? My understanding is that we may use different scaling methods in type=twolevel, but not in type=complex. Am I right?

And I tried bootstrapping with type=twolevel. It says that REPSE option and BOOTSTRAP are not allowed with Type=twolevel.

Best,

Bing Tong

Bootstrap is not implemented for twolevel at this point. The differences between complex and twolevel is described in

Weight scaling for type=complex does not effect the results. For type=two-level you can find scaling information here
