Direct linkSavalei, Victoria – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Normal theory maximum likelihood (ML) is by far the most popular estimation and testing method used in structural equation modeling (SEM), and it is the default in most SEM programs. Even though this approach assumes multivariate normality of the data, its use can be justified on the grounds that it is fairly robust to the violations of the…
