Hi Prof. Muthen,

I used SEM to test a moderated serial mediation model. I found that bootstrapping with XWITH command takes too much time, about 5-6 days -24 hours a day to finish 1000-1500 resamplings.
If I do CFA and export the factor score in csv format and then transfer to mplus input file, afterwards I treat them as manifest variables. Do you think the results would be the same as full SEM model?

Regards,
Lawrence

It's an approximation that is better with many good factor indicators.

Dr. Muthen,

Do you have reference for such approach?
