If you
would like to follow along with the computer examples during the workshop, we
suggest that you bring a laptop computer with the free Mplus demo version
loaded. It would also be helpful to
bring a USB jump drive (i.e., thumb drive, memory stick) to share files if
necessary. Power outlets will be provided for
those with laptops, but we do not expect there to be internet connectivity in
the presentation room. For additional
reference, the Mplus users guide can be downloaded for free from http://www.statmodel.com/ugexcerpts.shtml
(pdf format).
