Sörbom’s Alternative to Analysis of Covariance
Results for Model C
Finally, we have a model that fits.
From the point of view of statistical goodness of fit, there is no reason to reject Model
C. It is also worth noting that all the variance estimates are positive. The following are
the parameter estimates for the 105 control subjects:
Next is a path diagram displaying parameter estimates for the 108 experimental
