Mplus getting started with data and errors

In this video I show how to get your data from Excel or SPSS into Mplus, and I show how to run a basic Mplus analysis.

Thanks! Watching this video helped me finally understand why my attempts to run data for my homework wasn't working correctly.

A very useful series indeed. Please also define some of the terms during the mplus output interpretation

Thank you Dr. Gaskin for your great videos as usual. You may use "MISSING ARE variable (#)" in the VARIABLE command to define missing values.

Thanks James for your new video on MPlus. If posible can you kindly demonstrate moderation effects between Iv and Dv?

Thank you so much for adding MPlus to the videos. Would like to see how to calculate sample size for SEM in MPlus if you have time.

Cher James, Merci pour cette incroyable présentation ! J'ai juste une question concernant les valeurs manquantes. J'ai reçu un message d'erreur dû au fait que j'avais une variance supérieure à C'est bizarre et j'ai pensé que cela pouvait être dû à la valeur manquante fixée à 9999 (que j'ai spécifiée dans spss). Do you have any idea of what happened? Thanks :)

Thank you Prof. Gaskin. Can you also show SME with categorical data and latent growth curve analysis in Mplus?

Hi. I reinstalled the Windows and the MPLUS DEMO, and I got this error messages whatever I try to run in Mplus. "Mplus has unexpectedly stopped running. The output may contain only partial output. Please try again. If you continue to have problems with this input file please email it to Mplus support". Do you now how can I fix this? Thankyou!

[Drago]

Why do you fill de missings values with negative 99 and not positive numbers?
Thank you for this video!

Hello

If the data are the results of binary comparisons
For example, if I have 4 item (A, B, C), the binary comparisons are, (A.B), (A, C), (B.C)
The results are either 1 or 0

Dear James, I'm starting to discover MPlus by my own right now. I'm rearranging my database to use in MPlus and following these procedures but theres an error message I can't correct because I don't know how to do it and it's the following message:

***ERROR
The number of observations is 0. Check your data and format statement.
Data file: BASEMPLUS.dat
*** ERROR
Invalid symbol in data file:
"-" at record #: 1, field #: 121


Can you help me with this?
