Abstract: runmplus brings the powerful latent variable analysis capabilities of Mplus (see www.statmodel.com) into the Stata enviroment. The runmplus module does a number of tasks: (1) creates an ascii data file suitable for use with Mplus using code from Michael N. Mitchell's stata2mplus module, (2) creates a mplus command file using options specified, (3) executes the Mplus command file using the shell, (4) dumps the Mplus model results to the results screen, and (5) extracts important and/or useful information out of the Mplus ouput file and makes these available as returned results. Other modules are included to save model fit and d selected parameter estimates over multiple runs (runmplus_fits) and to load data saved by Mplus into Stata (runmplus_load_savedata).

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 10, lstrfun, findname and strparse packages from SSC (q.v.)
