Structural Equation Modeling with Small Samples: Test Statistics.

Bentler, Peter M.; Yuan, Ke-Hai

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v34 n2 p181-97 1999

Studied the small sample behavior of several test statistics based on the maximum-likelihood estimator but designed to perform better with nonnormal data. Monte Carlo results indicate the satisfactory performance of the "F" statistic recently proposed by K. Yuan and P. Bentler (1997). (SLD)
