Hello,
I am a new user of Mplus and I am trying to run a multi-level logistic regression. The outcome variable is categorical – verbal victimization, while the predictors are at two level (individual and community). In the first level the predictors are as well categorical and continuous – gender, grade level and age while in the second level the predictors are 5 continuous (see the variables below). I am having a difficulty compiling a input for this analysis?
Can you please help me with the input file?
VARIABLE:
NAMES = PID GENDER AGE
GRADEL FAIRNES ORDER PARENT
SHARING STUDENR STUDENT
VERBALV FYSICAV RELATV CYBERV
VERBALB FYSICAB RELATB CYBERB
SCHOOL;
USE VARIABLES = GENDER AGE
GRADEL FAIRNES ORDER PARENT
SHARING STUDENR STUDENT
VERBALV
SCHOOL;
CATEGORICAL = VERBALV; |

| Look at UG ex 9.4. Declare individual-level covariates as Within= and community variables as Between= . Then write your individual regression model on %Within% and your community regression model on %Between%. |

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! I have tried as instructed the input (see below) but I am getting the error message (see below). Between variables are sub-scales and represent means...how to proceed?

| It seems like that the in-between variables have different values for the cluster...what do you suggest how should I proceed? |
