MPlus estimating unrequested paths? |
|

Hi, I have noticed from time to time that MPlus will estimate a path that is not requested. Typically, it will correlate two variables. For instance, in the model: med on X1 X2; Y1 on med; Y2 on med; In this example, Mplus is correlating Y1 and Y2. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a reason this is happening or am I doing something wrong? I can solve the issue by specifying: Y1 with Y2@0; Still, it has me wondering whether I am missing some code somewhere. |

Mplus has various defaults all of which can be overridden. If you don't want this residual covariance, you can fix it to zero as you have done. |
