Im really glad you found this useful. Im trying to write smaller 'how to' papers on other techniques, and want to supplement them with short(er) online tutorials. There is another channel on youtube run by James (something) that also has quite a few nice tutorials. He's channel is the one I found to be the most useful over the years :)
Thank you Llewellyn! It is so hard to find a proper tutorial online for mplus newbies, and your video series have been sooo helpful!! For someone with some past stats background but totally new to Mplus and SEM, this tutorial series are perfect! You explained the concepts so well. Thank you!
I cannot describe how helpful and meaningful this is for me. I am completely new to Mplus, and only learned how to use R through copying and pasting other people's codes. Now for conducting ESEM, it is extremely inconvenient in R. So, I downloaded Mplus and started fresh, and the codes from the code generator that you guys developed worked SO WELL. I could never make this far without your dedicated work. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Dear Prof. Thanks for this valuable tutorial in explaining the practical ESEM analysis. This insight is valuable for me in comparing some measurement model selections before running the structural model, especially when i want to develop the questionnaire. Regards Harto
@@MplusforDummies my pleasure, I think the topic using MPLUS to perform multilevel modeling between and within group will be interested as well. Once more, thank for your help. I hope God bless you and your family.
This so helpful and entertaining. Thank you so much. I am just wondering why ESEM is not used in science or engineering fields? another question please, if I want to rank the items based on their risk level or importance, would cross-loadings be allowed in this situation?
Thanks for the great lecture indeed :) Like your figures, is it possible to illustrate dash arrows with mplus? I can only see black arrows without dash.
I hope you will see this: I am trying to find a way to run two-level exploratory analysis however I am getting negative residual variance at between level. I wonder if there is a way to fix the residual to zero in two-level EFA. I also wonder if there is a Multilevel ESEM or a code for Two level ESEM. Thank you in advance
Are you using the ESEM within CFA framework to change your ESEM factorial models into CFA models? I think the issue is there. You cant use standard ESEM models within a regression path model
@@LlewellynVanZyl Thank you for your quick response! I originally did not use ESEM. I used two-level EFA. Then to be able to fix the residual variation I tried to use ESEM in CFA. But my issue is that even though the data is multilevel, I am having problems at level 2. Therefore I was wondering is there way to do two-level ESEM?
Hello Mr van Zyl. How good is ESEM in R nowadays? I am somewhat comfortable with it than I am with Mplus. Are there any advances in ESEM package since the recording of this video? Does R still have shortcomings?
Jip there are two ESEM packages. One created by Leon de Beer and one by someone else. Both seems to work quite well. If you Google it you can find it. There was also a tutorial paper recently. If you email me, i can send you more information.
@@LlewellynVanZyl Thank you so much. After reading your post I found them both and run my ESEM in CFA model in R. If I may, I have another question for you. For the items with very low or negative factor loadings, do you recommend deleting them in ESEM at all? If so, at the ESEM or CFA phase? I don't know how to approach ESEM for the scale construction phase. More as an EFA or CFA? Thanks for the video. Subsribed!
Honestly, the Mplus community needs more of this type of free tutorials.

always interested in ESEM but never really had a chance to look up. thank you so much for the video =)

Statistics IKEA style 😂 Thank you very much, this is very helpful.
Amazing Job !
Thanks Leonard. I appreciate it. I tried my best :)
Thanks for the great lecture indeed :)

I can only see black arrows without dash.
I drew them in PowerPoint.
thank you so much...
