The models were adjusted assuming that the variances could differ between the indicators within each group, but it was specified as a restriction that they be equal between groups. Likewise, independence between the indicators was imposed as a restriction, both within each group and between groups. AIC = Akaike information criterion; BIC = Schwarz Bayesian information criterion; SSA-BIC = BIC adjusted for the sample size; LMRT = adjusted Lo–Mendell–Rubin maximum likelihood ratio test; PBLRT = parametric bootstrap likelihood ratio test; *p < 0.01; **p < 0.001.
