Hi, I am working on a multilevel regression model with gender as predictor and several outcome measures.

Now, I would like to report the means and SD's for these outcome measures for males and females separately.

Is there an easy way to get this in Mplus?

I read about the cluster_mean option, but could not quite work it out.

Below is what I have currently, with Cito1 - Cito 5 being my outcome measures:

VARIABLE: NAMES ARE PN Gender Class1 Cito1 Cito2 Cito3 Cito4
Cito5;
USEV ARE Gender Class1 Cito1 Cito2 Cito3 Cito4 Cito5;
CLUSTER = Class1;
CLASSES = g(2);
knownclass = g(Gender = 0 1);
MISSING ARE ALL (999);
ANALYSIS: TYPE = mixture;

DEFINE: clusmean = CLUSTER_MEAN (Cito1 Cito2 Cito3 Cito4 Cito5);

With kind regards, Eva

You can do a TYPE=BASIC using the GROUPING option with gender as the grouping variable and obtain sample statistics for males and females separately.

Dear Linda, Thank you so much for the quick reply.

I've tried:

VARIABLE: NAMES ARE PN Gender x y;
USEV ARE Gender x y;
!CLUSTER = Class1;
CLASSES = g(2);
knownclass = g(Gender = 0 1);
MISSING ARE ALL (999);
ANALYSIS: TYPE = BASIC MIXTURE;

%overall%
x;
y;

%g#1%
x;
y;

%g#2%
x;
y;

But got the following error:
*** FATAL ERROR

CLASS 1 HAS 0 OBSERVATIONS.

When I look in my data file there are definitely participants with a score of 0. What may be the cause of the problem here?

With kind regards, Eva
