Hi,

R lavaan calculates -compared to Stata (gsem)- all imaginable Goodnes of Fit indices for non-continuous SEM. Somebody told me recently that the use and assessment of GOF for non-continuous SEM isn`t recommended. Does anyone know more about this issue that here? Why is not recommended?  Literature recommendation?

Thank you!

SEMNET is a more appropriate forum for general questions like this.
