Modeling Model Misspecification in Structural Equation Models

Structural equation models constrain mean vectors and covariance matrices are frequently applied in the social sciences. Frequently, structural model is misspecified to some extent. In many cases, researchers nevertheless intend work with a target of interest. this article, simultaneous statistical inference for sampling errors misspecification discussed. A modified formula variance matrix parameter estimate obtained by imposing stochastic applying M-estimation theory. The presence quantified increased standard estimates. proposed illustrated several analytical examples an empirical application.
