Decisions are often based on the results of quantitative analysis. To gain confidence in these results, some indication of their quality is needed. Measurement uncertainty, as proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is a way to express this quality.

A controversial area in covariance structure models is the assessment of overall model fit. Researchers have expressed concern over the influence of sample size on measures of fit. Many contradictory claims have been made regarding which fit statistics are affected by N. Part of the confusion is due to there being two types of sample size effects that are confounded. The first is whether N dire...
