Chi-Square

Chi-Square difference test


Chi-Square ddl p
Model 0 30.2 33 60.72%
Model 1 38.4 35 31.81%
Chi-Square 8.2 2 1.66%

You just need to fill in B4, C4, B5, & C5 (ie, the cells on a white background)
Model 1 should be more constrained than model 2

model 0 is better. Risk: 5%
Model 0 is better. Risk: 10%

If Model 0 is better, the fit of Model 1 is significantly lowered by the additional constraints
If no model is better (test > 5% or 10%), you should usually use model 1

I've never seen any construct giving good results with 7 or more indicators, so I limited to 10 items

If you have less indicators than are present in the B column, just delete the values!

=AVE: average variance extracted (=d5/k): convergent validity if >0,5


(Check also that Lambda's c.r. are significative & that smc>0,5
