Choosing a multivariate model: Noncentrality and goodness of fit.
It is suggested that Akaike's information criterion cannot be used for model selection in real applications and that there are problems attending the definition of parsimonious ...
Goodness-of-Fit Testing for Latent Class Models
Latent class models with sparse contingency tables can present problems for model comparison and selection, because under these conditions the distributions of goodness-of-fit i...
Interpreting the Likelihood Ratio Statistic in Factor Models When Sample Size is Small
Abstract The use of the likelihood ratio statistic in testing the goodness of fit of the exploratory factor model has no formal justification when, as is often the case in pract...
Likelihood Ratio Tests for Model Selection and Non-Nested Hypotheses
In this paper, we develop a classical approach to model selection. Using the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion to measure the closeness of a model to the truth, we propose ...
Latent Class Model Diagnosis
Summary. In many areas of medical research, such as psychiatry and gerontology, latent class variables are used to classify individuals into disease categories, often with the i...
