I have one multicategorical (grouping variable with 4 groups of participants) and one continuous predictor, continuous mediator and outcome which makes 4 repeated measure. I am interesting in how to set model in path analysis, or do I need HLM or something else? For multicategorical predictor, should I set relations between dummy variables or not and how to include repeated measures in path analysis. It is not longitudinal data, but there is time schedule, so I suppose that it could be set like longitudinal data, but I am not sure. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your answer. How you described, multi-group model is what I need, but in my case it would be MG-LGM, because my outcome is repeated measure. My only concern is about minimum participants per group. Do you know what are recommendations for this minimum?
I use already lavaan for CFA, so I suppose that I will figure out how to set multi-group path model. Thank you again.
Best regards,
Bojana
Hi, Ronny Scherer,
I've just conduct MG-LGM. However, I've no idea to compare slope or intercept across groups. May I have some information in detail ?
