Hello,

In regard to Mplus Webnotes #21, Version 3 (July 16, 2018) can the manual BCH estimation as described in section 3.2 be applied with binary distal outcomes?

thanks

Yes, by putting the distal on the Categorical list.

I am trying to predict some nominal distal outcomes (2 binary and 2 nominal variables) in the context of a 4-class model. I need to apply *sampling weights* for the analysis. If I am not mistaken, it looks like none of the methods listed in Tables 6 and 7 of Asparouhov, T., & Muthén, B. (2018) would work for my case. I wonder if there is any better alternative to the traditional multinomial regression for my case. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You can use the manual BCH approach describes in Section 3

or the manual 3-step approach described in Section 3
