Hi! I am a doctoral candidate and used your videos for my dissertation. I tried so many other videos, books, and resources. Yours was the only helpful one. Thank you soooooo much.

[@ducduong80]

Thank you very much, your explanations are great!

[@Clonerianyambali]

Handy video. I am doing CFA with Amos and this video is so helpful.

Generous Mentor!
Love you sir!
Of course subscribed.

Thank you. Very helpful content.

[@mic4308]

Very helpful content explaining the setting (Analysis Porperties) and especially for fit statistics (HOELTER > 200?). I was so glad to hear about this video includes explainations of Standardized Regression Weights and Covariances as well. Appreciated again if you could list all authors and references mentioned in this video.

Some of the authors are cited in the book chapter published in the following book:
See chapter 5. Structural equation modeling in language assessment (Xuelian Zhu, Michelle Raquel & Vahid Aryadoust)

This hands-on instruction is easy to follow up. Why didn't it come up before my stats assignment? :-)

[@cb2497]

Thank you for the helpful content. Can you please give us a video or advice on how to bring fit in more complex models in path analysis.

After conducted analysis my model is not showing any values

[@mahnazbp1204]

Perfect. Thank you for sharing this great video

Thank you for the helpful content..
If some items are not normally distributed (5 of 18), what should be chose for discrepancy? Knowing that p CMIN =0,000, all other indicators showing a good model fit when we use maximum likelihood

[@VahidAryadoust]

Maximum likelihood is not an appropriate method if items deviate from normality.

[@morrisjohni.lobetos7874]

I am a beginner with SEM. How can I make adjustments to my model to determine the best fit model for my data?

[@VahidAryadoust]

There are many ways; start off by removing the paths with non-significant path coefficients and/or variables; OR first remove outliers and then re-ran the model; etc.

@@VahidAryadoust Thanks a lot

[@javeriayounus4045]

What if the data is not normally disctributed

[@VahidAryadoust]

Use another parameter estimation method, other than maximum likelihood method.

Respected Sir, would you please suggest me a book?

[@VahidAryadoust]

I suggest chapter 5 of the following book: www.routledge.com/Quantitative-Data-Analysis-for-Language-Assessment-Volume-II-Advanced-Methods/Aryadoust-Raquel/p/book/9781032091440

You are very generous sir.
Can't find words to thank you.
