Is it possible to print out a picture of the path diagram in MPlus similar to Amos? If so, could you please let me know how to do it? Thanks. |
|
|
No, Mplus does not do this. |

Given that valid scripts map to one and only one path diagram (i.e. the MODEL and other statements specify a diagram), it would be possible to write software to draw a path diagram given the script. Has anyone done that? |

Are you planing on implementing this feature (path diagrams) in the next versions of Mplus or not at all? I think Mplus is really user friendly in comparison to some other SEM programs, but having the path diagrams available would make it even more user friendly. |

No such plans currently - right now we find it more important to focus on extending analysis capabilities. |

I am conducting a multiple group analysis and want to obtain the diagram for each group. When I choose the diagrammer, the model for the first group is shown. Is there a way to get the diagram for the other groups or do I need to draw those myself? |
|
|
We don't give a diagram for each group. |

I am running Mplus.exe from the command line. Is there an option, while running in this format, to create a .dgm file; alternatively, is there a way to invoke diagrammer.exe on the command like to create the .dgm file? So far I have only managed to open the .inp file on diagrammer from the command line, but I need it to go further than that (I'm automating the process). |

Yes, you can force Mplus to create the DGM file on the command line by giving the following option: mplus inputfile.inp /diagram This will not open the Diagrammer.exe, but the DGM file needed for the Diagrammer will be created. |

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks Thuy Nguyen. And just for some context, I am invoking MPlus from within a Stata .do file using the shell command. By enclosing the parameters to the MPlus.exe command as below, I am able to get it to run and output a path diagram: shell "c:\folder\MPlus.exe" "c:\folder\file.inp" "c:\folder\file.out" "/diagram" I can then display the output using the command: type "c:\folder\file.out" and invoke the diagrammer with my results using: shell "c:\folder\Diagrammer.exe" "c:\folder\file.dgm" |
