Output

Currently there is not much to say about Mplus output. It is written into the output window and contains plain ASCII code.

The output file will automatically have the same name as the input file; only the extension will be different, as it will aptly be ".out". Note that the output file will always be created anew when you run an input file! That is, if you have estimated a model from an input file and change the input file to estimate a different model, you should either rename your input file or save the former output file under a different name if you want to keep the old output.

Another form of output are plots, which are briefly covered in a special section of this guide.
