  TITLE:  cat2
          EFA in a CFA framework
          2 factors
          imposing 4 restrictions just like in EFA:
                  2 loadings fixed at 0 (chosen from the efa)
                  and fixing the 2 factor variances at 1
          this gives s.e.'s for loadings

  DATA: FILE IS wefa.dat;

  VARIABLE: NAMES ARE y1-y25;

          USEV = y10-y22;
          CATEGORICAL = y10-y22;

  ANALYSIS:  TYPE = MEANSTRUCTURE;
             ESTIMATOR = WLSMV ;

  MODEL:
          f1 BY y10* y11-y14 y15@0 y16-y22;
          f2 BY y10* y11-y21 y22@0;

  !        in the above 2 statements the default fixing to 1 of the
  !        first loading for y10 is avoided.
  !        loadings for y15 and y22 are fixed at 0

          f1@1;
          f2@1;

  !        factor variances are fixed at 1



*** WARNING in ANALYSIS command
  Starting with Version 5, TYPE=MEANSTRUCTURE is the default for all
  analyses.  To remove means from the model, use
  MODEL=NOMEANSTRUCTURE in the ANALYSIS command.

*   The chi-square value for MLM, MLMV, MLR, ULSMV, WLSM and WLSMV cannot be used
    for chi-square difference testing in the regular way.  MLM, MLR and WLSM
    chi-square difference testing is described on the Mplus website.  MLMV, WLSMV,
    and ULSMV difference testing is done using the DIFFTEST option.
