MODEL Commandy2 ON x2 (p4);y3 ON x1 (p5);y3 ON x2 (p6);The list function can be used with the simplified language for categoricallatent variables and unordered categorical (nominal) observed variables.The multinomial logistic regression of one categorical latent variable onanother categorical latent variable where c2 has four classes and c1 hasthree classes is specified as follows:c2 ON c1;Following is an example of how labels are assigned when a list ofparameters appears on both the left- and right-hand sides of the ONoption using the simplified language:c2 ON c1 (p1-p2 p3-p4 p5-p6);Following is what this specifies:c2#1 ON c1#1 (p1);c2#2 ON c1#2 (p2);c2#3 ON c1#1 (p3);c2#1 ON c1#2 (p4);c2#2 ON c1#1 (p5);c2#3 ON c1#3 (p6);SPECIAL LIST FUNCTION FEATUREThe list function has a special feature that can make model specificationeasier. This feature allows a parameter to be mentioned in the MODELcommand more than once. The last specification is used in the analysis.For example,f1 BY y1-y6*0 y5*.5;is interpreted by the program asf1 BY y1*0 y2*0 y3*0 y4*0 y5*.5 y6*0;597
