An Investigation of the Effect of Sample Size and Specification Error on the Fit of Structural Equation Models.

Gallini, Joan K., Mandeville, Garrett K.

Journal of Experimental Education, v53 n1 p9-19 Fall 1984

This Monte Carlo study examined the validity of the chi-square test for model evaluation in different instances of misspecification and sample size. The usefulness of the chi-square difference statistic to compare competing structures and improvement in fit is also addressed. (Author/BS)
