TITLE: Ordinal response, multiple sclerosis data (Landis & Koch 1977); DATA: FILE IS C:\mplus\files\landis.txt; ! NOTE: if data are in tabular form, they must be written out as individual ! records. This can be done using statistical packages (like SAS) VARIABLE: NAMES ARE y1 y2; CLASSES = class(2); CATEGORICAL=y1-y2; ANALYSIS: TYPE=MIXTURE; ESTIMATOR=ML; ! See Appendix B for some comments on how the model is parameterized MODEL: %OVERALL% f1 by y1@1; f2 by y2@1; ! Factors are included above to allow for non-zero means below [y1$1*-1] (1); [y1$2*0] (2); [y1$3*1] (3); [y2$1*-1] (4); [y2$2*0] (5); [y2$3*1] (6); ! The numbers in parentheses restrict the thresholds to be equal ! across the latent classes %class#1% [f1@0 f2@0]; %class#2% [f1*1 f2*1]; ! The above allows the means to be non-zero in one latent class. ! This gives the detection parameters OUTPUT: sampstat tech1;
