Pause During Mplus Analysis

Dr. Christian Geiser is offering free online mini-courses, Sample Size Planning in Mplus and Path Analysis with Mplus.

Free Mplus workshops - Dr. Michael Zyphur has made available a free 3-day workshop held in July 2019 at the University of Melbourne. The workshop covers the new General Cross-Lagged Panel Model (GCLM) in Mplus. A second course will be offered sometime between Nov 25 and Dec 13, 2019. Additionally, a 5-day Mplus workshop covering various modeling topics, from basic correlation and regression to multilevel structural equation modeling and latent growth models in Mplus is available for viewing and download.
