ANALYSIS CommandType of AnalysisTYPE=Not all estimators are available for all models. Following is a table thatshows which estimators are available for specific models and variabletypes. The information is broken down by models with all continuousdependent variables, those with at least one binary or ordered categoricaldependent variable, and those with at least one censored, unorderedcategorical, or count dependent variable. All of the estimators requireindividual-level data except ML for TYPE=GENERAL and EFA, GLS,and ULS which can use summary data. The default settings areindicated by bold type.The first column of the table shows the combinations of TYPE settingsthat are allowed. The second column shows the set of estimatorsavailable for the analysis types in the first column for a model with allcontinuous dependent variables. The third column shows the set ofestimators available for the analysis types in the first column for a modelwith at least one binary or ordered categorical dependent variable. Thefourth column shows the set of estimators available for the analysistypes in the first column for a model with at least one censored,unordered categorical, or count dependent variable.All continuousdependentvariablesGENERALML**MLM*****MLMV*****MLR**MLF**GLS*****WLS*****GENERAL RANDOM ML**MLR**MLF**At least onebinary ororderedcategoricaldependentvariableWLSWLSMWLSMVULSMVML*MLR*MLF*ML*MLR*MLF*At least onecensored,unorderedcategorical,or countdependentvariableWLS****WLSM****WLSMV****ML*MLR*MLF*ML*MLR*MLF*GENERAL RANDOM COMPLEX MLR** MLR* MLR*GENERAL COMPLEX MLR** WLSWLSMWLSMVULSMVMLR*MIXTUREMIXTURERANDOMML**MLR**MLF**ML**MLR**MLF**WLS****WLSM****WLSMV****MLR*ML**MLR**MLF**MIXTURE COMPLEX MLR** MLR** MLR**MIXTURE COMPLEX RANDOM MLR** MLR** MLR*531
