Mixture Modeling with MplusAutomation

Welcome! This will be a collection of resources that will teach you how to apply mixture modeling using Mplus1 and MplusAutomation!2 These resources will serve as a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying mixture models using Mplus and its automation capabilities with MplusAutomation. Here, you will learn from start to finish how to apply a range of mixture modeling using Mplus with the MplusAutomation package.

Note: This book is a continuous work in progress. The code presented may be updated and/or expanded as research progresses. Please treat the material as a living document rather than a final product.
