Is it possible to have a multilevel factor model with random intercepts and random slopes for factor loadings? This would be similar to User Manual v7 Example 9.10 (p.283) but with y1-y4 also having random intercepts and random slopes together with y5 but without the use of a covariate w? If so, how might such a model be configured in Mplus? |

Yes. You would need a bar statement for each of the other factor indicators and to remove w from the analysis. This could be computationally heavy. |

Thank you Linda, would it look like this? MODEL: %WITHIN% fw BY y1*-y5; s1 | y1 ON fw; s2 | y2 ON fw; s3 | y3 ON fw; s4 | y4 ON fw; s5 | y5 ON fw; fw@1; %BETWEEN% fb BY y1*-y5; y1-y5@0; y1 s1 ON fb; y2 s2 ON fb; y3 s3 ON fb; y4 s4 ON fb; y5 s5 ON fb; fb@1; |

Yes. |
