Some Features Affecting the Success of Specification Searches in Covariance Structure Modeling.

Silvia, E. Suyapa M.; MacCallum, Robert C.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v23 n3 p297-326 Jul 1988

The effects of several specification search strategies used with Covariance Structure Modeling to obtain more parsimonious models are examined. The initial models vary in their degree of "correctness." Restricting modifications to those justified by prior theoretical knowledge improves the success of a specification search. (TJH)
