Improving the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation for Nonnormal Conditions in Structural Equation Modeling.

Nevitt, Jonathan; Hancock, Gregory R.

Journal of Experimental Education, v68 n3 p251-68 Spr 2000

Studied incorporating adjusted model fit information into the root mean square error of approximation fit index (RMSEA). Monte Carlo simulation results show that incorporating robust information into the RMSEA may yield improved performance for assessing model fit under nonnormal data situations. (SLD)
