Dear Professors, I am running a mode choice (nominal) model with both latent class and latent variables.
I tried
1) mode choice model with Latent Class. It worked.
2) mode choice model with latent variable. It worked.

But when I combine both latent class and latent variable in the mode choice model. Mplus complains.

The testing Mplus code except is as follows:
=====================
USEVARIABLES are
QA1 QA3 QA6 QA11 QA16 QA21
MALE CarOne CarTwo
ModeChng;

CLASSES = c(2);

NOMINAL ARE ModeChng; !mode choice

ANALYSIS:
TYPE = MIXTURE;

MODEL:

%OVERALL%
f_Conven BY QA1 QA3 QA6 QA11 QA16 QA21;
ModeChng ON CarOne CarTwo f_Conven;
c ON MALE;

%C#1%
ModeChng ON f_Conven;

=========================
Note:
1. f_Conven is latent variable "convenience" measured by 6 indicators;
2. ModeChng is the mode choice
3. I want to test the different slopes of f_conven on ModeChng across classes.

When I run this code, Mplus complains
"*** ERROR
The following MODEL statements are ignored:
* Statements in the OVERALL class:
MODECHNG#1 ON F_CONVEN
MODECHNG#2 ON F_CONVEN
* Statements in Class 1:
MODECHNG#1 ON F_CONVEN
MODECHNG#2 ON F_CONVEN

Thanks,Jinhua
