Structural Equation Modeling  
Mplus Discussion >
Structural equation modeling is a statistical method that includes the estimation of models with regressions among continuous latent variables or factors. Path analysis is a special case of structural equation modeling where all variables are observed.

Mplus can estimate both structural equation models and path models for a single or multiple groups. In addition, Mplus can estimate models with regressions among combinations of continuous latent variables and observed variables. In Mplus, both factor indicators and other observed dependent variables for these models can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), counts, or combinations of these variable types. When factor indicators and other observed dependent variables are all continuous, Mplus has seven estimator choices: maximum likelihood (ML), maximum likelihood with robust standard errors and chi-square (MLR, MLF, MLM, MLMV), generalized least squares (GLS), and weighted least squares (WLS) also referred to as ADF. When at least one factor indicator or other observed dependent variable is binary or ordered categorical, Mplus has seven estimator choices: weighted least squares (WLS), robust weighted least squares (WLSM, WLSMV), maximum likelihood (ML), maximum likelihood with robust standard errors and chi-square (MLR, MLF), and unweighted least squares (ULS). When at least one factor indicator or other observed dependent variable is censored, unordered categorical, or a count, Mplus has six estimator choices: weighted least squares (WLS), robust weighted least squares (WLSM, WLSMV), maximum likelihood (ML), and maximum likelihood with robust standard errors and chi-square (MLR, MLF).
