  21. Identification of a simple model

  22. Model estimation • Discrepancy functions: • Unweighted least squares (ULS) • Maximum likelihood (ML) • Generalized least squares (GLS) • Other methods • Estimation problems: • Nonconvergence • Improper solutions

  23. Model testing • Global fit measures: • χ2 goodness of fit test • Alternative fit indices • Local fit measures: • Parameter estimates • Reliability • Discriminant validity • Model modification: • Modification indices and EPC’s • Residuals

  24. Reliability for congeneric measures • individual-item reliability (squared correlation between a construct ξj and one of its indicators xi): ρii = λij2var(ξj)/[ λij2 var(ξj) + θii] composite reliability (squared correlation between a construct and an unweighted composite of its indicators x = x1 + x2 + ... + xK): ρc = (Σλij)2 var(ξj)/[ (Σλij)2 var(ξj) + Σθii] average variance extracted (proportion of the total variance in all indicators of a construct accounted for by the construct; see Fornell and Larcker 1981): ρave= (Σλij2)var(ξj)/[ (Σλij2) var(ξj) + Σθii]
