Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit Indices for Composite Models: The Case of Differences

Research output: Contribution to conference › Abstract › Academic

Abstract

Research on goodness-of-fit indices has improved our understanding of what constitutes a good model fit. However, this research has mainly focused on models containing common factors. Over the last decade, interest in composite models has increased. Therefore, we investigate whether the established understanding of good model fit also applies to composite models in order to ascertain
whether the established intuition is valid in this context
