Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling with Latent Variables


Customizable Fit Summary Table

Because there are so many fit indices that PROC CALIS can display and researchers prefer certain sets of fit indices, PROC CALIS enables you to customize the set of fit indices to display. For example, you can use the following statement to limit the set of fit indices to display:

fitindex on(only) = [chisq SRMSR RMSEA AIC];

With this statement, only the model-fit chi-square, standardized root mean square residual, root mean square error of approximation, and Akaiki’s information criterion are displayed in your output. You can also save all your fit index values in an output data file by adding the OUTFIT= option in the FITINDEX statement. This output data file contains all available fit index values even if you have limited the set of fit indices to display in the listing output.
