Title
A cautionary note on the use of LISREL's automatic start values in confirmatory factor analysis studies
Abstract
The accuracy of parameter estimates provided by
the major computer programs for confirmatory factor
analysis studies is questioned. This note demonstrates
an inconsistency in parameter estimates across two of
the major programs (LISREL and EQS), with the inconsistency
attributed to the use of LISREL VI’S automatic
start values for the estimation of generalized least
squares models.
