On specifying the null model for incremental fit indices in structural equation modeling.
In structural equation modeling, incremental fit indices are based on the comparison of the fit of a substantive model to that of a null model. The standard null model yields unconstrained estimates of the variance (and mean, if included) of each manifest variable. For many models, however, the standard null model is an improper comparison model. In these cases, incremental fit index values rep...
متن کاملComparison of Model Fit Indices Used in Structural Equation Modeling Under Multivariate Normality
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of estimation techniques and sample sizes on model fit indices in structural equation models constructed according to the number of exogenous latent variables under multivariate normality. The performances of fit indices are compared by considering effects of related factors. The Ratio Chi-square Test Statistic to Degree of Freedom, Root Me...
متن کاملSmall—Sample Robust Estimators of Noncentrality—Based and Incremental Model Fit In press: Structural Equation Modeling
Traditional estimators of fit measures based on the noncentral chi—square distribution (rmsea, Steiger’s γ, etc.) tend to overreject acceptable models when the sample size is small. To handle this problem, it is proposed to employ Bartlett’s (1950), Yuan’s (2005), or Swain’s (1975) correction of the maximum likelihood chi—square statistic for the estimation of noncentrality—based fit measures. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of model fit in nonlinear multilevel structural equation modeling
Evaluating model fit in nonlinear multilevel structural equation models (MSEM) presents a challenge as no adequate test statistic is available. Nevertheless, using a product indicator approach a likelihood ratio test for linear models is provided which may also be useful for nonlinear MSEM. The main problem with nonlinear models is that product variables are non-normally distributed. Although r...
متن کاملEvaluating Fit Indices for Multivariate t-Based Structural Equation Modeling with Data Contamination
In conventional structural equation modeling (SEM), with the presence of even a tiny amount of data contamination due to outliers or influential observations, normal-theory maximum likelihood (ML-Normal) is not efficient and can be severely biased. The multivariate-t-based SEM, which recently got implemented in Mplus as an approach for mixture modeling, represents a robust estimation alternativ...
