Mplus 6.12 Base Program and Combination Add-on

    Mplus is a statistical software package that allows users to perform a variety of analyses, such as regression, path analysis, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, growth modeling, survival analysis, and mixture modeling. Mplus has several versions and add-ons that provide different features and capabilities. In this article, we will focus on the Mplus 6.12 Base Program and Combination Add-on, which is one of the most comprehensive and versatile options available.

    What is the Mplus Base Program?

    The Mplus Base Program is the core component of the Mplus software. It estimates regression, path analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA), structural equation (SEM), growth, and discrete- and continuous-time survival analysis models. In these models, observed dependent variables can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), unordered categorical (nominal), counts, or a combination of these variable types. The Mplus Base Program also supports single or multiple group analysis; missing data estimation; complex survey data analysis including stratification, clustering, and unequal probabilities of selection (sampling weights); latent variable interactions and non-linear factor analysis using maximum likelihood; random slopes; individually-varying times of observation; non-linear parameter constraints; indirect effects; maximum likelihood estimation for all outcomes types; bootstrap standard errors and confidence intervals; Bayesian analysis and multiple imputation; Monte Carlo simulation facilities; and a post-processing graphics module.
