I have a rank dependent variable observed at 7 different points in time. The dependent variable ranks insitutions from 1 to 50 over the 7 year time period (i.e. 1=best performer, 50=worst performer).

What is the best approach to model this data in Mplus (given that I have 50 "categories," I cannot define the variable as categorical in Mplus)?

Thanks.

Mplus does not have any feature that handles ranked data.
