Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to obtain growth factor estimates (intercepts and slopes from LGM) separately for each subject in the sample. I would like to save these values in a separate file. How can I do this? I already tried several things with the SAVEDATA-command, without success. Thanks in advance. Sylvana |

Use the SAVE=FSCORES option of the SAVEDATA command for this. If you continue to have problems, send your files and license number to support@statmodel.com. |

This worked, thanks alot! I am getting stars in the first column, and stars preceding some variables, but that isn't a problem. I am surprised that the growth factor scores are full numbers: I had expected scores like for instance -1,3549 instead of -1 for the slopes. Is this just my ignorance, or? Thanks, Sylvana |

The asterisks are missing values. Please send your input, data, output, saved data file, and license number to support@statmodel.com. |

Weekend has started in Europe, so I'll send you the files on Monday. Thanks. |

Hello, I just solved the problem myself. Now I have three decimals for the intercepts and slopes of each subject. Thanks! |

Dear Muthen, For the conditional growth model, how to save the average estimated value for each time point, so that I can plot the graph in Excel? Thank you, |
|
|
Just use the Save graph data option under the Plot menu. |

Is there any way to use individuals' correlations (via savedata maybe) between two growth/slope factors as a predictor, or more specifically in my case a mediator of group differences on an outcome? Is that legit? |
|
|
You can save all individuals' factor scores for the two slope factors, then correlate those factor scores, but that correlation won't vary across individuals. |

Thanks! Sometimes you gotta ask a dumb question as a sanity check. |

Hi, I am trying to save intercept and slope parameters for a growth model using the Bayes estimator with FSCORES. However, I get the following error message: *** ERROR in SAVEDATA command The number of imputations must be specified when requesting FSCORES for ESTIMATOR=BAYES. I am not sure what Mplus wants me to do, since I am not imputating any data? Regards! |
|

See the V8 UG (on our website) page 838. Imputation in this case refers to factor score estimation. That is, draws from a posterior distribution. The benefit of Bayes is that a distribution of values is obtained for each subject, not just the mean and SE. |

Thank you, that helped! |

Hi, I am doing latent growth curve analysis using multiple group approach. Is it possible to save the slope score for each group seperately? in my case for male and female. Regards, Jothees |

Hi, I tried to save the intercept and slope using the command from curve of the factor latent growth curve model, but unsuccessful. SAVEDATA: FILE=cogscore.sav; SAVE=FSCORES; FORMAT IS free; I keep getting this error message *** WARNING in SAVEDATA command (Err#: 9) Error opening data save file: cogscore.sav Data will not be saved. Please tell me how I can resolve this issue. Regards, Jothees |

Yes, Mplus saves the slope score for each group separately. Regarding the warning, see output to Support along with your license number. |
