Hi Bengt/Linda before the release of version 7, Mplus only produced one classification matrix. Back then I wrote a (now obsolete) piece of Stata code to calculate the other matrix (Vermunt's D-matrix) and also the logits so I could implement the three-step method. I've just dusted off my Stata code to run it on some Monte Carlo output and discovered that it does not work. I cannot calculate the second classification matrix from the first (and vice versa), although I can derive the second matrix from the logits. Any idea what is going on here? are there a different set of rules for MC output? perhaps one matrix is averaged across draws. many thanks, Jon |

Please send the output from the Monte Carlo analysis pointing out which matrices you are concerned with. |

Thanks Linda, I've just posted some details to support. I have a further quick question on the topic of Monte Carlo simulations. If the analytical model is identical for the two approaches, would we expect the same answer when performing a one-stage MC compared to a two-stage in which all datasets are exported using REPSAVE? Either there is good reason for differences - akin to the old fscores/factor-determinacy problem - or I am suffering from class switching when analysing my REPSAVEd data. Any idea? perhaps a third reason? many thanks, Jon |
