Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling with Latent Variables

Figure 17.54 shows the fit summary of the LISMOD model. All these fit index values match those from using the PATH model specification of the same model, as shown in Figure 17.48. Therefore, you are confident that the current LISMOD model specification is equivalent to the PATH model specification shown in the section Career Aspiration: Analysis 3.

Estimation results are shown in Figure 17.55, Figure 17.56, and Figure 17.57, respectively for the measurement model for y, measurement model for x, and the structural model. These are the same estimation results as those from the equivalent PATH model specification in Figure 17.49. However, estimates in the LISMOD model are now arranged in the matrix form, with standard error estimates and t values shown.
