Hi everyone,
I am working with a 4-wave panel dataset, N=4,500. The dataset looks like this:
I want to estimate a Cross lagged panel model with fixed effects.
Using the xtdpdml command, stata gives me the wanted coefficients as output.
However, when transfering the estimation to Mplus (using the mplus option in xtdpdml), my model does not seem to be identified and therefore does not provide the std. dev. and p-values in the output.
I already tried different options (e.g., only estimating the IV and DV without controls, which works perfectly in both programms).
Does anybody have an idea why the model does not converge/ can't be identified in mplus, but in stata?
Best,
Lisa

Note: SRMR is not reported because of missing values.
I already tried different options (e.g., only estimating the IV and DV without controls, which works perfectly in both programms).
Does anybody have an idea why the model does not converge/ can't be identified in mplus, but in stata?
Best,
Lisa
