I'm running what should be a fairly straightforward mediation with 1 continuous IV, 3 continuous mediators, and 1 dichotomous DV. However, my output tells me that my DV has 33 categories, when it should have 2.
I get this message (input included)
INPUT INSTRUCTIONS
TITLE: ROBERT'S DISSERTATION;
DATA: FILE IS "E:\dissertation\mplus all data.dat";
VARIABLE: NAMES ARE rot NeoOpent Zinf Znorm ZDA;
CATEGORICAL ARE rot;
USEVARIABLES ARE rot NeoOpent Zinf Znorm ZDA;
MODEL: rot ON Zinf Znorm ZDA NeoOpenT;
Zinf ON NeoOpent;
Znorm ON NeoOpent;
ZDA ON NeoOpent;
MODEL INDIRECT: rot IND NeoOpent;
*** ERROR
Categorical variable ROT contains 33 categories.
This exceeds the maximum allowed of 10.
It actually runs if I don't tell the program to treat "rot" as categorical, but I don't believe I'd actually get an output that correctly tests my model. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! |
