If not clear from the title, this code is in MPlus.
When I run the following code, I get the following issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it. The output doesn't give me fit statistics and I'm not sure where or why the parameters don't work, as for regular CFA and ESEM they did, so it's not a direct data issue.
Thanks in advance!
TITLE: Bi-CFA for EDE-Q;
DATA: FILE IS EDE-Q.csv;
VARIABLE: NAMES = Q1-Q12, Q19-Q28; ! These are the variables that contribute to the EDE-Q, labelling each coloumn in the shortened data set
MISSING = *; ! Giving blanks a value so MPlus can see where they are for full maximum likelihood indicator, automatically fills in any missing data gaps
CATEGORICAL ARE Q1-Q12, Q19-Q28; ! Specifies that data is categorical, not continuous
MODEL: GeneralFactor BY Q1-Q12, Q19-Q28; ! General factor measured by all items
F1 BY Q1-Q5; ! Each item on it's predetermined sub-scale, Restraint, residual variance being measured in addition to general factor
F2 BY Q7, Q9, Q19-Q21; ! Eating Concern
F3 BY Q6, Q8, Q10, Q11, Q23, Q26-Q28; ! Shape Concern
F4 BY Q8, Q12, Q22-Q25; ! Weight Concern
GeneralFactor WITH F1-F4@0; ! General and specific factors are not correlated and so set to 0, sub-scales are residual factors
F1-F4 WITH F1-F4@0; ! Typically specific factors shouldn't be correlating
OUTPUT: SAMPSTAT, STDYX; ! Sample statistics and standardised outputs
