Homework Assignment # 3 for Lisrel.
- Use the example learning model program but modify it to create three models.
- The main purpose is to compare three different models: One complex model and two nested models.
- Write a brief introduction describing the three models and their nested relation. Use LISREL diagrams to achieve this in a graphical illustration.
- Run the CALIS program three times (once per model) to obtain the following statistics from each model: Chi-square statistics, goodness of fit indices, estimated cross validation indices.
- Write a result section summarizing the model comparisons and justify the final model selected by this comparison process.
- Illustrate the parameters estimated from the program in the LISREL diagram for each model. Comment on the interpretability of these parameters.
