Hi, I am trying to run a mediation model in which the dependent variable is non-normal (the lowest possible SCORE (17) is VERY inflated). I am not sure how to run a mediation model using a zero inflated negative binomial regression which I think would best fit this data. I tried the below but got an error.

Variable: Names are A-W;
UseV are A-G;
count is A (i);
Missing = ALL (-999)

Analysis:
coverage = .0001;
type=general;
estimator=ml;
iterations=1000;
convergence=.00001;

Model:
LZ by B C;
A on D LZ E F G;
A#1 on D LZ E F G;

model indirect:
A IND D LZ;

Output: Sampstat standardized residual tech1 tech4 cinterval;

ERROR: MODEL INDIRECT is not available for analysis with ALGORITHM=INTEGRATION
