Establishing Factor Validity Using Variable Reduction in Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
Hofmann, Rich
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v55 n4 p572-82 Aug 1995
Using a 21-statement attitude-type instrument, an iterative procedure for improving confirmatory model fit is demonstrated within the context of the EQS program of P. M. Bentler and maximum likelihood factor analysis. Each iteration systematically eliminates the poorest fitting statement as identified by a variable fit index. (SLD)
