Portmanteau Likelihood Ratio Tests for Model Selection
This paper provides an extension of Vuong’s (1989, Econometrica, 57, pp.307–333) model selection test to the multivariate case. We use the Kullback–Leibler Information Criterion (KLIC) to measure the closeness of a model to the truth to provide a diagnosis of many competing models where the models are not correctly specified. After investigating the asymptotic joint distribution of the likeliho...
متن کاملPairwise likelihood estimation for factor analysis models with ordinal data
Pairwise maximum likelihood (PML) estimation method is developed for factor analysis models with ordinal data and tted both in an exploratory and con rmatory set-up. The performance of the method is studied via simulations and comparisons with full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and three-stage limited information estimation methods, namely the robust unweighted least squares (3S-RULS) a...
متن کاملModel Fit in Structural Equation Models with Censored, Ordinal, and Dichotomous Variables: Testing Vanishing Tetrads
Although the methodology for handling ordinal and dichotomous observed variables in structural equation models (SEMs) is developing rapidly, several important issues are unresolved. One of these is the optimal test statistic to apply as a test of overall model fit. We propose a new ‘‘vanishing tetrad’’ test statistic for such models. We build on Bollen’s (1990) simultaneous test statistic for t...
متن کاملNonparametric likelihood ratio model selection tests between parametric likelihood and moment condition models
We propose a nonparametric likelihood ratio testing procedure for choosing between a parametric (likelihood) model and a moment condition model when both models could be misspecified. Our procedure is based on comparing the Kullback–Leibler Information Criterion (KLIC) between the parametric model and moment condition model. We construct the KLIC for the parametric model using the difference be...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation and model comparison of nonlinear structural equation models with continuous and polytomous variables
Recently, it is recognized that nonlinear relationships among latent variables in a structural equation model are important. In this article, maximum likelihood (ML) analysis of a general nonlinear structural equation model that contains 5xed covariates in the measurement equation and the nonlinear structural equation is investigated. A MCEM algorithm is implemented to obtain the ML estimates, ...
