Hi, Prof. Muthen, I am running a EFA model with 1700 obs. I get a four factor model RMSEA = 0.042 SRMR =0.022 But Chi-square P-value =0.000 Is this a reasonable fit? Why is Chi-square so bad while RMSEA and SRMR are fine? The second question is that I have the Factor determinacies for the four factors 0.825 0.809 0.908 0.875 Are they ok? Or they have to be greater than 0.9. Thanks a lot! Jinhua |

Chi-square is often poor despite RMSEA being good - for reasons why, see the literature on RMSEA describing the idea of approximate fit. I know of no rules for factor determinacy values - except the higher the better. |
