CHAPTER 10y1 y2 y3 y4y5cfwWithinBetweeny1 y2 y3 y4y5c#1fbIn this example, the two-level confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)mixture model with continuous factor indicators in the picture above isestimated. This example is the same as Example 7.17 except that it hasbeen extended to the multilevel framework. In the within part of themodel, the filled circles at the end of the arrows from the within factorfw to y1, y2, y3, y4, and y5 represent random intercepts that vary acrossclusters. The filled circle on the circle containing c represents therandom mean of c that varies across clusters. In the between part of themodel, the random intercepts are referred to as y1, y2, y3, y4, and y5and the random mean is referred to as c#1 where they are shown incircles because they are continuous latent variables that vary acrossclusters. In the between part of the model, the random intercepts areindicators of the between factor fb. In this model, the residual variances306
