Hi,

I am trying to run a one-level EFA using a correlation matrix as the input rather than the raw data (I do not have access to the raw data). I did not find the codes for this in the MPlus user guide. I am not sure whether MPlus can do that. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

See Example 13.1 where a covariance matrix is read. Just change COVARIANCE to CORRELATION.

Thanks, Dr. Muthen, for your quick response. Where could I find the Example 13.1?

Best regards,

In the user's guide which is on the website if you don't have a copy.
