Odd CFA results using MLR |

Hi, Consider these competing models and results (same dataset, MLR estimator used, no error/warning messages): M1: f1 by o1* o2-o8; f1@1; X2=108, df=20, scf=1.33 (H0 scf=1.35, H1 scf=1.34) M2: f1 by o1* o2-o8; f2 by o2* o3 o5 o7; f1@1 f2@1; f1 with f2@0; X2=143, df=16, scf=0.81 (H0 scf=1.64, H1 scf=1.34) The bifactor model should always yield a lower X2 than the simple one-factor model, shouldn't it? Thanks, |

I think this holds for ML not MLR. Please end the outputs and your license number to support@statmodel.com. if you want further information. |

Hi Linda, Thanks for your reply. You're absolutely right; the pattern of X2s was as expected with the ML estimator. |
