Hi Hi.
I am using LISREL 8.8 (Simplis Commands)
I am stuck in doing 2nd order Multigroup measurement Invariance - specifically i cannot get through the stage for equal intercepts (strong invariance/Measurement intercepts)
I kept having errors and model does not converge.
Hope some one here can help me..
here are my code that worked until Metric invariance-Equal factor loading (items are ordinal, and estimation method = RML)
