Herzog, Walter; Boomsma, Anne; Reinecke, Sven – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
According to Kenny and McCoach (2003), chi-square tests of structural equation models produce inflated Type I error rates when the degrees of freedom increase. So far, the amount of this bias in large models has not been quantified. In a Monte Carlo study of confirmatory factor models with a range of 48 to 960 degrees of freedom it was found that…
