Using Example 16 in the online appendix to Preacher, Zhang, & Zyphur (2016). I only have Mplus 7, so I cannot use Bayes as recommended in Web Note 23.

What are the starting values in the example? Are they values from another model? Also, did I center the predictor and moderators correctly?

In students, L1 Executive Functioning at T1 predicts L1 aggressive behavior at T2, moderated by classroom climate (L2)

USEVARIABLES ARE
T1EC_SCA
T2Agg
CHILD;
BETWEEN= CHILD;
Missing are . ;
cluster= SCHOOL_I CLASS_ID;

DEFINE:
center T1EC_SCA (groupmean);
center CHILD (grandmean);

Analysis:
Type = complex twolevel random;
Estimator=MLR;
Algorthm is integration;
Integration is 11;

Model:
%within%
T1EC_SCAw by T1EC_SCA@1;
T1EC_SCAw*;
T1EC_SCA@.01;
S1 | T2Agg on T1EC_SCAw;
T2Agg*;

%between%
T1EC_SCAb by T1EC_SCA@1;
T1EC_SCAb* ;
T1EC_SCA@0.01;
T2Agg*;
EC_Aggb | T1EC_SCAb XWITH CHILD;
T2Agg on CHILD* T1EC_SCAb* EC_Aggb*;
S1 ON CHILD&;
s1*;
[T1EC_SCA@0 T1EC_SCAb T2Agg* S1*];
S1 WITH T2Agg*;
T1EC_SCAb WITH CHILD*;
S1 WITH T1EC_SCAb*;
