Hi there,

I'm trying to run meta-analytci SEM to compare different models. I do have the correlation matrix as input for Mplus, and here is my code:

data: file=data.txt;
nobservations=4265;
type=correlation;

variable: names are
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6;

USEVARIABLES ARE
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6;

model:

v3 on v1;
v3 on v2;

v4 on v3;
v5 on v3;
v6 on v3;

output: stdyx;


The model runs, however, the problem is the coefficient path between variables are exactly the same as the correlation. For example, if the correlation between V1 & V2 is 0.3, the coefficient path in the model between V1 & V2 is 0.3

Please advise, thnx

Your input doesn't show a regression between v1 and v2 so I can't tell what's going on. Send output to Support along with your license number.
