"How Big Is Big Enough?": Sample Size and Goodness of Fit in Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables.
Tanaka, J. S.
Child Development, v58 n1 p134-46 Feb 1987
Considers problems which arise when researchers do not have the optimally large sample sizes desired in structural equation modeling. Discusses the ways in which small sample size affects assessment of model fit. Provides a new estimator that may be beneficial for use in small-sample situations. (Author/RH)
