Advances in Bayesian Model Fit Evaluation for Structural Equation Models

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the Posterior Predictive P-value (PPP) method in the presence of missing data, the Bayesian adaptation of the approximate fit indices RMSEA, CFI and TLI, as well as the Bayesian adaptation of the Wald test for nested models. Simulation studies are presented. We also illustrate how these new methods can be used to build BSEM models.
