Table 5. Goodness-of-fit statistics.

np χ2 p-value AIC
Full model 24 19.325 0.003 122.462
Identifiable model 6 15.473 0.906 82.61

In the full model, 24 parameters were estimated. After identifiability analysis, estimated parameters were reduced to 6 and the remaining parameters were fixed prior to fitting. The reduction in estimated parameters improved the weighted least squares merit function value (χ2), increased p-value on a χ2 test indicating that the identifiable model sufficiently explains the data, and lowered the estimated amount of information lost between the model and the data by the Aikake Information Criterion (AIC) measure.
