In many datasets produced by NCES (ECLS-K, for example), they provide weight variables based on Taylor series. Is there a way to incorporate those variables in Mplus runs? Where do I specify and how? Thanks! |

You can use the WEIGHT option of the VARIABLE command to incorporate a sampling weight in the analysis. |

Thank you Linda! NCES used "jackknife 2 method" to produce a series of 90 replication weights. They recommend AM software that reads in all the 90 replicate weights to obtain correct standard errors for significance tests. Is there a way we can do it with Mplus? |

This cannot be done in Mplus as far as I know. |

Hello Drs. Muthen, I am working with data that has high ICCs but cannot use MLM as I only have eight clusters. It was suggested to me to use Taylor Series Linearization for variance estimation. Can this be done in MPlus? I have not come across this in the manual. I currently only have access to MPlus 7.3 Base Program and Combination Add-on and the standard version of SPSS. |

I don't think that method would work well with only 8 clusters. See my other reply. |
