Formulas for Point Estimates of Fit Indices

Fit index Formula Definitionsa
Absolute fit
 GFI pp+2FML Equation 7
 AGFI 1p(p+1)2d(1GFI)
 MC exp(12F^uHyp) Equations A3 and 6
Absolute misfit
 RMSEA max(F^uHyp,0)d Equations A3 and 6
 RMR FOLS12p(p+1) Equation 13
Comparative fit
 NNFI QBaseQHypQBase1 Equation A2
 NFI F^BaseF^MLF^Base Equations A1 and 6
 RNI F^uBaseF^uHypF^uBase Equations A3 and A4

Note. GFI = goodness-of-fit index; AGFI = adjusted goodness-of-fit index; MC = measure of centrality; RMSEA = root-mean-square error of the approximation; RMR = root-mean-square residual; NNFI = nonnormed fit index; NFI = normed fit index; RNI = relative noncentrality index.
