Example 22
When you perform the exploratory analysis later on, the program will treat the three
colored arrows as optional and will try to fit the model using every possible subset of
them.
Selecting Program Options
E Click the Options button on the Specification Search toolbar.
E In the Options dialog box, click the Current results tab.
E Click Reset to ensure that your options are the same as those used in this example.
E Now click the Next search tab. The text at the top indicates that the exploratory analysis
will fit eight (that is, 2
3
) models.
E In the Retain only the best ___ models box, change the value from 10 to 0.
With a default value of 10, the specification search reports at most 10 one-parameter
models, at most 10 two-parameter models, and so on. If the value is set to 0, there is no
limitation on the number of models reported.
