When I run this simple model using 8.1 analysis: type=twolevel; model: %within% Y on X; %between% Y on X; I get this warning message: In the MODEL command, the x variable on the WITHIN level refers to the whole observed X variable. Is this warning message accurate? Thanks Jamie |

This warning message should be printed only with random slopes like for the UG ex 9.2c (part 3) on pages 278-279. So you should ignore this warning for your example. A latent variable decomposition is carried out also with ML (not only for Bayes) for your example and the results are correct. |

Hi Bengt I am also now getting this error since the latest update to version 8. I am trying to use two-level latent decomposition of an x covariate with a weighted dataset so my only option is MLR estimation. So I can ignore this error? |

Yes. |

Hello, I both tried UG ex 9.1b and 9.2c and they both gave same error message above. Yet in 9.2c UG says the model uses observed covariate x on within-level and latent variable covariate x_bj on between-level. So is warning message in 9.2c not ignorable? I mean are the x scores being used on within-model in 9.2c actually observed scores, not latent ones? Thanks! |

Mplus version 8.4 gives the following message for ex 9.2c and it is correct: In the MODEL command, the predictor variable on the WITHIN level refers to the whole observed variable in the statement: S | Y ON X To use the latent within-level part, use ESTIMATOR=BAYES in the ANALYSIS command.
