Examples: Growth Modeling And Survival AnalysisVARIABLE command in conjunction with the TYPE=MIXTUREoption of the ANALYSIS command. The default is to estimate themodel under missing data theory using all available data. TheLISTWISE option of the DATA command can be used to delete allobservations from the analysis that have missing values on one or moreof the analysis variables. Corrections to the standard errors and chisquaretest of model fit that take into account stratification, nonindependenceof observations, and unequal probability of selection areobtained by using the TYPE=COMPLEX option of the ANALYSIScommand in conjunction with the STRATIFICATION, CLUSTER, andWEIGHT options of the VARIABLE command. TheSUBPOPULATION option is used to select observations for an analysiswhen a subpopulation (domain) is analyzed. Latent variable interactionsare specified by using the | symbol of the MODEL command inconjunction with the XWITH option of the MODEL command. Randomslopes are specified by using the | symbol of the MODEL command inconjunction with the ON option of the MODEL command. Individuallyvaryingtimes of observations are specified by using the | symbol of theMODEL command in conjunction with the AT option of the MODELcommand and the TSCORES option of the VARIABLE command.Linear and non-linear parameter constraints are specified by using theMODEL CONSTRAINT command. Indirect effects are specified byusing the MODEL INDIRECT command. Maximum likelihoodestimation is specified by using the ESTIMATOR option of theANALYSIS command. Bootstrap standard errors are obtained by usingthe BOOTSTRAP option of the ANALYSIS command. Bootstrapconfidence intervals are obtained by using the BOOTSTRAP option ofthe ANALYSIS command in conjunction with the CINTERVAL optionof the OUTPUT command. The MODEL TEST command is used to testlinear restrictions on the parameters in the MODEL and MODELCONSTRAINT commands using the Wald chi-square test.Graphical displays of observed data and analysis results can be obtainedusing the PLOT command in conjunction with a post-processinggraphics module. The PLOT command provides histograms,scatterplots, plots of individual observed and estimated values, and plotsof sample and estimated means and proportions/probabilities. These areavailable for the total sample, by group, by class, and adjusted forcovariates. The PLOT command includes a display showing a set ofdescriptive statistics for each variable. The graphical displays can beedited and exported as a DIB, EMF, or JPEG file. In addition, the data99
