Yes, unfortunately the Gutierrez presentation doesn't cover this. It
analyses boys and girls separately but only for the variance structure
not as a fully grouped model (i.e. it doesn't produce separately
estimated boy/girl coefficients for the other covariates).

> Hi,
>
> I have been estimating latent growth models using -xtmixed- with a
> continuous income measure as the dependent variable and long-term
> family status (14 categories) as an independent variable. However, I
> am wanting to estimate simultaneous models for two separate groups -
> those poor at time=0 and those not poor at time=0. Is this possible
> using xtmixed? I appreciate that I could simply include 'poor' as a
> covariate or estimate two separate models but I want to obtain a
> robust multiple groups analysis with parameters estimated separately
> for each group rather than uniformly modified by group.
>
> My syntax (with simplified variable names) for the non-groups model is:
>
> xtmixed income familytype2-familytype14
> familytype2BYtime-familytype14BYtime time ///
> || id: time, cov(un) var mle
>
> I'd be grateful if anyone could show me how to do the syntax for a
> grouped model.
