Hi,

I am testing a mediation model with two latent continuous predictors, one latent continuous mediator and one manifest dichotomous dependent variable. The default estimator for this type of analysis is a robust WLS.

The problem is that I do not get any of the usual Fit Indices but only the WRMW (Weighted Root Mean Square Residual) which is equal to 0.388.

As I was looking for some more information regarding this index I found the mplus discussion "Weighted Root Mean Square Residual" with the following posts:

I would not worry about WMRMR. It is not a well-studied fit statistic and has not behaved as well as expected.

So that now I am even more confused. How can I evaluate the goodness of my model? Is there some way to get good fit indices with a binary dependent variable?

Many thanks in advance,
Claudia.

There must be more to the story. Please send your output and license number to support@statmodel.com so I can see what it is.
