An Evaluation of the Satorra-Bentler Distributional Misspecification Correction Applied to the McDonald Fit Index.

Peer reviewed

Anderson, Ronald D. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1996

Goodness of fit indexes developed by R. P. McDonald (1989) and Satorra-Bentler scale correction methods (A. Satorra and P. M. Bentler, 1988) were studied. The Satorra-Bentler index is shown to have the least error under each distributional misspecification level when the model has correct structural specification. (SLD)

Cook, Linda L.; Petersen, Nancy S. – 1986

This paper examines how various equating methods are affected by: (1) sampling error; (2) sample characteristics; and (3) characteristics of anchor test items. It reviews empirical studies that investigated the invariance of equating transformations, and it discusses empirical and simulation studies that focus on how the properties of anchor tests…
