An Evaluation of the Satorra-Bentler Distributional Misspecification Correction Applied to the McDonald Fit Index.

Anderson, Ronald D.

Structural Equation Modeling, v3 n3 p203-27 1996

Goodness of fit indexes developed by R. P. McDonald (1989) and Satorra-Bentler scale correction methods (A. Satorra and P. M. Bentler, 1988) were studied. The Satorra-Bentler index is shown to have the least error under each distributional misspecification level when the model has correct structural specification. (SLD)
