HiYes, it is possible to analyze summary data, which can be then estimated by maximum likelihood. See -help ssd-
For your interest, see also -help corr2data-, which can generate artificial data with a known correlational structure too.

Hello statlist I am fairly new to Stata and completely new to the sem() function. I have previously used MPlus, where it is common to have data files in a format like this: 79.75 0.97 81.96 109.16 14.18 0.58 54.24 10.40 1 0.34 1 0.59 0.39 1 0.38 0.13 0.29 1 where we have a row vector for the means of each variable, a row for their standard deviations, a lower triangular matrix for correlations, and the number of observations is input separately. Is there a way to get Stata to handle this kind of input without having the simulate the data myself ?
