Hi Dr Muthen,

I am conceptualising a mediation model with binary outcome variables using the model constraint. I am interested in including a moderator between the mediation variables and the outcome. Is there an examples or chapters that you could direct me towards for guidance?

Many thanks

If you are considering the traditional product indirect effect you can look at UG ex 3.18.

If you are considering the more proper counterfactual effects, you want to read:

Dr Muthern,

I have tried running the example that is listed on your web site here:

I get an error right after running it.

*** ERROR in MODEL CONSTRAINT command
A parameter label or the constant 0 must appear on the left-hand side
of a MODEL CONSTRAINT statement. Problem with the following:
