Model Selection in Structural Equation Models with Continuous and Polytomous Data.

Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, Sik-Yum; Zhu, Hong-Tu

Structural Equation Modeling, v8 n3 p378-96 2001

Studied the maximum likelihood estimation of unknown parameters in a general LISREL-type model with mixed polytomous and continuous data through Monte Carlo simulation. Proposes a model selection procedure for obtaining good models for the underlying substantive theory and discusses the effectiveness of the proposed model. (SLD)
