Mplus由基於主程序和兩個擴展模塊組成多水平Multilevel Add-On和混合模型Mixture Add-on.通過不同搭配，Mplus提供四種不同的功能組合：
1.基本程序，基本上等同於一般的SEM軟體，能處理回歸分析、探索和驗證性因素分析、增長模型和生存分析等。
2.基本程序+混合模型模塊，在包括基本程序功能外，增加了估計類別潛變量模型的功能。
3.基本程序+多水平模型模塊，在包括基本程序功能外，增加了估計嵌套數據(多水平數據)的功能。
4.基本程序+兩個模塊組合，包含基本程序功能、混合模型模塊和多水平模型模塊的全部功能。

Mplus基礎程序
The Mplus Base Program estimates regression, path analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA), structural equation (SEM), growth, and discrete- and continuous-time survival analysis models. In regression and path analysis models, observed dependent variables can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), counts, or a combination of these variable types. In addition, for regression analysis and path analysis for non-mediating variables, observed dependent variables can be unordered categorical (nominal). EFA, factor indicators can be continuous, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), or a combination of these variable types. In CFA, SEM, and growth models, observed dependent variables can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), unordered categorical (nominal), counts, or a combination of these variable types. Other special features include single or multiple group analysis; missing data estimation; complex survey data analysis including stratification, clustering, and unequal probabilities of selection (sampling weights); latent variable interactions and non-linear factor analysis using maximum likelihood; random slopes; individually-varying times of observation; non-linear parameter constraints; indirect effects; maximum likelihood estimation for all outcomes types; bootstrap standard errors and confidence intervals; Bayesian analysis and multiple imputation; Monte Carlo simulation facilities; and a post-processing graphics module.

The Mplus Base Program and Multilevel Add-On contains all of the features of the Mplus Base Program. In addition, it estimates models for clustered data using multilevel models. These models include multilevel regression analysis, multilevel path analysis, multilevel factor analysis, multilevel structural equation modeling, multilevel growth modeling, and multilevel discrete- and continuous-time survival models. In multilevel analysis, observed dependent variables can be continuous, censored, binary, ordered categorical (ordinal), unordered categorical (nominal), counts, or a combination of these variable types. Other special features include single or multiple group analysis; missing data estimation; complex survey data stratification, clustering, and unequal probabilities of selection (sampling weights); latent variable interactions and non-linear factor analysis using maximum likelihood; random slopes; individually-varying times of observation; non-linear parameter constraints; maximum likelihood estimation for all outcomes types; Bayesian analysis and multiple imputation; Monte Carlo simulation facilities; and a post-processing graphics module.

The Mplus Base Program and Combination Add-On contains all of the features of the Mplus Base Program and the Mixture and Multilevel Add-Ons. In addition, it includes models that handle both clustered data and latent classes in the same model, for example, two-level regression mixture analysis, two-level mixture confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM), and two-level latent class analysis, multilevel growth mixture modeling, and two-level discrete- and continuous-time survival mixture analysis. Other special features include missing data estimation; complex survey data analysis including stratification, clustering,
probabilities of selection (sampling weights); latent variable interactions and non-linear factor analysis using maximum likelihood; random slopes; individually-varying times of observation; non-linear parameter constraints; maximum likelihood estimation for all Bayesian analysis and multiple imputation; Monte Carlo simulation facilities; and a post-processing graphics module.
