So I'm running my first CFA with dichotomous indicators (yes/no as 1/0) and am using the 'categorical are' syntax, and it's working fine . . . however, I've also run it with estimator=mlm, and that also produces quite similar results. There is a preceding EFA that was run in SPSS, which of course can't account for either of those options.
Just looking for some guidance on which is more appropriate for the CFA. |

| You should use Categorical approach. |

Thanks . . . the first order CFA looks great, and I am trying a second order model and it won't converge with 10000 iterations . . . is there anything special I need to specify since the first order latent variables are built on categorical indicators?
Or is it that the second order model just isn't a good model : ). |

| No, nothing special for categorical and a second-order model. |
