Table 2.

The generating model is the AE simplex (parameter set 3) with the parameters α1, α2 = α3, β1, and β2 = β3, as shown

The χ2 goodness of fit indices are associated with the incorrect models: the AE simplex, the ACE simplex, and the AE simplex with rank 1 C (i.e., σ2Ct] = 0, t = 2,3,4). In these models the parameters αk and βk (k = 1,2,3) were fixed to zero. The total χ2, given NMZ = NDZ = 1000, is broken down into the MZ and the DZ contributions, respectively

The 68 df model is the standard AE simplex with occasion-specific variances σ2[at] = 0 & σ2[et] = 0. This model is nested under the true model (i.e., AE simplex with Ph->E transmission parameters αk and βk). These results are also given in Table 1

The 61 df model is the standard ACE simplex with occasions specific variances σ2[at], σ2[et], and σ2[ct]

The 60 df model is the standard ACE simplex with occasions specific variances σ2[at], σ2[et], and σ2[ct] = 0

The 64 df model is the standard AE simplex with occasions specific variances σ2[at], σ2[et], and σ2[ct] = 0, and a rank one C covariance matrix (i.e., σ2Ct] = 0, t = 2,3,4)
