Hi Bengt

May I know how to calculate chi-square difference test from WLSMV estimator? Thanks.

Use the DIFFTEST option of the ANALYSIS command. See the website for a technical description.

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain a chi-squre difference test using DIFFTEST for multigroup analyses using WLSMV. However, I keep getting an error message saying

*** WARNING in SAVEDATA command
(Err#: 9)
Error opening DIFFTEST save file:
deriv1.dat
DIFFTEST will not be saved.

Here is my syntax. Can you tell me what is wrong? Thank you!:

Title: HW 3 Step 1

Variable:

Categorical = AIDEDUC DEFENSE ECONOTHR GATHINTE HEALTHCA HOMESEC MILOTHRN
PROGVIOL SOCSEC;
Grouping = GEN (0 = male 1 = female);
Missing = all (-9);
