Bootstrapping
The bootstrap output begins with a table of diagnostic information that is similar to the
following:
It is possible that one or more bootstrap samples will have a singular covariance matrix,
or that Amos will fail to find a solution for some bootstrap samples. If any such
samples occur, Amos reports their occurrence and omits them from the bootstrap
analysis. In the present example, no bootstrap sample had a singular covariance matrix,
and a solution was found for each of the 500 bootstrap samples. The bootstrap
estimates of standard errors are:
0 bootstrap samples were unused because of a singular covariance matrix.
0 bootstrap samples were unused because a solution was not found.
500 usable bootstrap samples were obtained.
