Real data are unlikely to be exactly normally distributed. Ignoring non-normality will cause misleading and unreliable parameter estimates, standard error estimates, and model fit statistics. For non-normal data, researchers have proposed a distributionally-weighted least squares (DLS) estimator to combines the normal theory based generalized…
