Dr. Muthén,

I am running into some problems justifying my output. Below is my output:
Number of Free Parameters 233
Information Criteria
Akaike (AIC) 90022.411
Bayesian (BIC) 91011.302
Chi-Square Test of Model Fit
Value 3818.523
Degrees of Freedom 1846
P-Value 0.0000
RMSEA
Estimate 0.046
90 Percent C.I. 0.044 0.048
Probability RMSEA <= .05 1.000
CFI/TLI
CFI 0.860
TLI 0.851

Chi-Square Test of Model Fit for the Baseline Model

Value 16001.726
Degrees of Freedom 1953
P-Value 0.0000

SRMR
Value 0.060
This is a very complex model and the N=515. I saw that there are some published articles reported TLI/CFI below 0.9 as decent model fits.I also tried MODINDICES(3.84) but I don't think the suggestions make theoretical sense.

Is it a stretch for me to see the model fit was decent? are there good articles that can backup my story?

Thank you very much!

This is a good question for SEMNET.
