Behavior of Descriptive Fit Indexes in Confirmatory Factor Analysis Using Ordered Categorical Data.
Olmos, Antonio; Hutchinson, Susan R.
Structural Equation Modeling, v5 n4 p344-64 1998
The behavior of eight measures of fit used to evaluate confirmatory factor analysis models was studied through Monte Carlo simulation to determine the extent to which sample size, model size, estimation procedure, and level of nonnormality affect fit when analyzing polytomous data. Implications of results for evaluating fit are discussed. (SLD)
