Abstract

There has been relatively little systematic investigation of the effect of the number of variables on measures of model fit in structural equation modeling. There is conflicting evidence as to whether measures of fit tend to improve or decline as more variables are added to the model. We consider 3 different types of specification error: minor factors, 2-factor models, and method errors. Using a formal method based on the noncentrality parameter (NCP), we find that root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA) tends to improve regardless of the type of specification error and that the comparative fit index (CFI) and Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), generally, though not always, tend to worsen as the number of variables in the model increases. The formal method that we develop can be used to investigate other measures of fit and other types of misspecification.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
