Hello,
Is it possible to have latent profiles predicting a latent growth model without the indicators from the latent growth model being used as indicators in the LPA?
If so, what would the syntax look like?
Thanks,
Stephanie |

Q1: Yes.
Q2: See the approach used in the manual 3-step procedure in our Mplus Web Notes 15 and 21 on our website. |

| Thank you for your response Bengt. But isn't the BCH command only used for observed variables. What if the distal outcome is also latent? |

See Section 3 in http://statmodel.com/examples/webnotes/webnote21.pdf
The secondary model would be the growth model while the LPA analysis is estimated first to obtain the BCH estimates. |
