When indicators are all categorical or part of indicators are categorical, the estimators can be used in Mplus are WLS, WLSM, and WLSMV. In output there is Est./S.E. for each estimate. My question is what is (asymptotic) distribution of Est./S.E.? Can it be treated as standard normal or students t-distribution? If not, how to use that value to judge the significance of the estimate? Could you give me any reference? |

Standard normal. See the following reference: Muthén, B. & Satorra, A. (1995). Technical aspects of Muthén's LISCOMP approach to estimation of latent variable relations with a comprehensive measurement model. Psychometrika, 60, 489-503. |

Hello, I am building a manifest path model with categorical variables using WLSMV, the variables had been skewed. Can I derive a one-tailed p-value from the two-tailed p-values given in the MODEL RESULT section by deviding the two-tailed p-value through 2? Thanks a lot in advance. Heike |

You will need to look up the value of the ratio of the parameter estimate to its standard error in a z-table to obtain the p-value. |
