Computing Robust, Bootstrap-Adjusted Fit Indices for Use with Nonnormal Data
Walker, David A.; Smith, Thomas J.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v50 n1-2 p131-137 2017
Nonnormality of data presents unique challenges for researchers who wish to carry out structural equation modeling. The subsequent SPSS syntax program computes bootstrap-adjusted fit indices (comparative fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, incremental fit index, and root mean square error of approximation) that adjust for nonnormality, along with the Bollen-Stine bootstrap-adjusted ?[superscript 2] equivalent statistic and associated scaling factor.
