Can we build a zero-inflated ordered probit model in Mplus? If not, would a ZINB model be a close approximation?

Are you thinking about more than 2 outcome categories? Is the outcome ordinal?

Yes, 5 ordered categories

Zero-inflated modeling is equivalent to a two-class model with all zeros in one of the two classes. You can use zero-inflated ordered probit by introducing a latent class variable C(2) for each variable that has a zero inflated distribution.

Dear Professors,
I am trying to test a cross-lagged panel model with ZIOP. I have 2 timepoints and 2 outcomes. 1 is binary (drug use – yes, no); 1 is ordinal (drug communication – 0 times, 1 time, 2 times, 3 or more times). The ordinal variable is zero-inflated.

1. Does my syntax appear correct? I cannot get the model to converge, whether I run the simple model, or include additional covariates to provide more information for the model.
2. Is there a way I can include the autocorrelation between the outcomes? Loading the outcomes onto latent variables, in order to correlate the errors makes the model more complicated.

I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you!!

Syntax:
USEVARIABLES are Y3MJ01 Y4MJ01 Y3com Y4com male age;
missing = all (99);
CATEGORICAL = Y4com Y4MJ01;
classes = c (2)
ANALYSIS: TYPE=MIXTURE;
ESTIMATOR = MLR;
LINK = PROBIT;
ALGORITHM = INTEGRATION;
INTEGRATION=MONTECARLO;
MODEL:
