Hello,

I am attempting to fit a multinomial logit (3 categories), with random effects. The intercepts vary across news organizations and congressional races. However, news organizations are not perfectly nested within races, leading a cross classified structure. My question is whether this type of model can be fit in v6.12. If so, is the model I include below accomplishing this goal, or is it assuming observations are nested within news organization nested within races? I have not been able to find documentation on cross classified models in mplus

Thanks,
Chris

Cross-classified models are not available in Version 6.12. They will be available in Version 7.
