Abbreviations: p, number of indicators, ω, MacDonald’s omega; χ2 model chi-square, df, degrees of freedom; SRMR, standardized root mean square residual (≤ 0.08 satisfactory for); RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation (< 0.05 satisfactory fit); CFI, confirmatory fit index (>0.95 satisfactory fit); NRV, negative residual variance; MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination; CERAD, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease.
Omega estimate greater than 1.0, an out-of-bounds estimate due to negative residual variance.
