apar: number of estimated parameters.

bchi-square statistic

cCFI: Comparative Fit Index.

dRMSEA: Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation.

eSRMR: Standard Root Mean Residual.

*Best fit indices are highlighted with asterisks.

i For model 6a standard errors could not be computed and the information matrix could not be inverted. This may be a symptom of a non-identifiable model. Therefore, the parameters of this model are shown in parenthesis.
