Latent variable means comparison.
| Model | df | AIC | BIC | Chisq | Chisq diff | Df diff | Pr(>Chisq) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Means varying freely | 17 | −2725 | −2656 | 44.28 | NA | NA | NA |
| Loadings, intercepts, residuals, lv. variances, and means constrained | 18 | −2725 | −2660 | 45.39 | 1.113 | 1 | 0.2914 |
The fit indices for the comparison between the all-constrained model and the same model with means let to vary freely. The difference between the two models is not statistically significant in a comparative anova. df, degrees of freedom; AIC, Akaike Information Criterion; BIC, Bayesian Information Criterion; Chisq diff, difference between the chi-square of the model with the previous one; DF diff, degrees of freedom difference; Pr(>Chisq), p-value of the chi-square difference test (ANOVA).
