Testing Structural Equation Models (SAGE Focus Editions)

Testing Structural Equation Models (SAGE Focus Editions)

by J.ScottLong (Editor), KennethA.Bollen (Editor)

Synopsis

What is the role of fit measures when respecifying a model? Should the means of the sampling distributions of a fit index be unrelated to the size of the sample? Is it better to estimate the statistical power of the chi-square test than to turn to fit indices? Exploring these and related questions, well-known scholars examine the methods of testing structural equation models (SEMS) with and without measurement error, as estimated by such programs as EQS, LISREL and CALIS.
