Problem Note 53106: The standard errors for METHOD=FIML estimates might be incorrect in the CALIS procedure
 |  |  |  |  |
If the METHOD=FIML option is specified in the PROC CALIS statement and missing values exist in the input data set that are missing at random (MAR), then the standard errors for the parameter estimates might be incorrect. Data are said to be MAR if the probability of a missing value can depend on some observed quantities but does not depend on any unobserved data.
