Direct linkRaykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
A latent variable modeling approach for examining population similarities and differences in observed variable relationship and mean indexes in incomplete data sets is discussed. The method is based on the full information maximum likelihood procedure of model fitting and parameter estimation. The procedure can be employed to test group identities…

Savalei, Victoria – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Incomplete nonnormal data are common occurrences in applied research. Although these 2 problems are often dealt with separately by methodologists, they often cooccur. Very little has been written about statistics appropriate for evaluating models with such data. This article extends several existing statistics for complete nonnormal data to…

Beauducel, Andre; Herzberg, Philipp Yorck – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
This simulation study compared maximum likelihood (ML) estimation with weighted least squares means and variance adjusted (WLSMV) estimation. The study was based on confirmatory factor analyses with 1, 2, 4, and 8 factors, based on 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 cases, and on 5, 10, 20, and 40 variables with 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 categories. There was no…

Gold, Michael S.; Bentler, Peter M.; Kim, Kevin H. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2003
This article describes a Monte Carlo study of 2 methods for treating incomplete nonnormal data. Skewed, kurtotic data sets conforming to a single structured model, but varying in sample size, percentage of data missing, and missing-data mechanism, were produced. An asymptotically distribution-free available-case (ADFAC) method and structured-model…

Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, Sik-Yum – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
Structural equation models are widely appreciated in social-psychological research and other behavioral research to model relations between latent constructs and manifest variables and to control for measurement error. Most applications of SEMs are based on fully observed continuous normal data and models with a linear structural equation.…

Ximenez, Carmen – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
The recovery of weak factors has been extensively studied in the context of exploratory factor analysis. This article presents the results of a Monte Carlo simulation study of recovery of weak factor loadings in confirmatory factor analysis under conditions of estimation method (maximum likelihood vs. unweighted least squares), sample size,…
