  variable:
    names are y1 y2 y3;

  analysis:
    type = general meanstructure;
  model:
    slope by y1@1 y2* y3*; ! footnote 1.
    slope;     ! Estimate slope variance
    [slope];   ! Estimate slope mean
    [y1@0 y2@0 y3@0]; ! make residual variances 0
    y1 y2 y3 (eqerr); ! footnote 2.
  ! Footnotes
  ! 1. the y2* y3* frees the factor loadings for
  !    time2 and time3.
  ! 2. this constrains the residual variances for
  !    y1 y2 and y3 to be equal.
