Hello, I have questions.
I used google translation and modified my text.
please understand that I'm not good at writing english.

I know that alignment can not set cross-loading in model.
In Awc, can cross-loading be modeled?

As far as I know, AwC uses the estimates obtained from the alignment as start values.
In this case, i assume that there is cross-loading for two indicator in the one-factor model.
Let's say the main loading is the higher of the two loading values.

If so, we obtain an estimate by setting only main-loading in the alignment model.
The main-loading estimates obtained from the alignment model are given as start values ​​in AwC.
Is cross-loading other than main-loading sufficient for modeling in AwC?

It can be seen that the estimate of alignment at the simple structure (no cross-loading) is similar to the estimate obtained at AwC.
Cross-loading is not comparable. Is there any basis or method to verify that the cross-loading set in AwC is valid?

There are two questions.
First, how can i implement cross-loading in AwC?
Second, how can i confirm that the estimates obtained by cross-loading in AwC are valid?

"​&#8203"

is just error.

never mind.

After running the alignment and setting up the AwC you can add cross-loadings. You can check the cross-loadings for significance. You can also compare the AwC model against the efa model with the same number of factors unconstrained across groups.

Thank you so much.
I analysed sucessfully.
