I'm getting an error message as I arrive at the strict invariance part.
"lavaan WARNING: scaling factor is negative"
I think my question was not the correct question to ask.
but these the "chi-sq diff", "df diff" and "Pr(>Chisq)" do calculate when comparing configural with strict
I tried running the following, changing “satorra.bentler.2001” to “satorra.bentler.2010”
anova(fit3.2, fit4, method =
"satorra.bentler.2010")
and
anova(fit2, fit4, method =
"satorra.bentler.2010")
But I’m still getting the negative scaling factor, based on your previous message I’m led to believe that fit3.2 (strong) vs fit 4 (strict) and fit2 (weak) vs fit4 (strict) cannot be compared but fit 1 (configural) vs fit4 (strict) can be compared.
I’m inclined to believe that this is how measurement invariance works, but I’m not sure. In the past, I’ve stopped after achieving strong invariance.

There seems to be a problem using the estimator = "MLM" when using the anova function to determine model differences, by switching to estimator = "ML" I can evaluate strict invariance
