Models fit to Snijders & Bosker (1999) language data

-- Balanced Data (3 male / 3 female students per school)

• SAS PROC MIXED input/output

• Mplus input/output for fitted model

• Mplus input/output for saturated model

-- Unbalanced Data (Variable number of male / female students per school)

• SAS PROC MIXED input/output

• Mplus input/output for fitted model

• Mplus input/output for saturated model

-- Unbalanced Data (Continuous Covariate, IQ)

• SAS PROC MIXED input/output

• Mplus input/output for fitted model

Models fit to High School & Beyond data

-- Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model (Full Sample)

• SAS PROC MIXED input/output for CFA with unit loadings

• Mplus input/output for fitted model

• SAS PROC MIXED input/output for CFA with loadings fixed to estimated values from Mplus model above

-- Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model (Reduced Sample)

• Mplus input/output for fitted model

• Mplus input/output for saturated model

-- Mediational Model

• Mplus input/output for full model (direct & indirect effects of private/public school)

• Mplus input/output for reduced model (no direct effects of private/public school)
