https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/CFA-using-PROC-CALIS-SAS-9-4/m-p/690832#M33305 <P>Hello SAS Community:</P><P>Just wanted to ask about the chi-square dF computed from PROC CALIS fitness statistics (Fit Summary Table). I run a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with 7 observed items and 2 latent factors. I fixed all latent factor variances to 1.00. My Fit Summary Table yields a chi-square value of 18.52; dF=13, and a p-value of 0.1387. My question is: how is the number of dF calculated? I ask as I am unable to reconcile this (i.e., dF=13) with the formula: [p(p+1)]- [#error variance + #of factor loadings estimated + #latent factor covariances]. Thanks!</P><P>Marc</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2020 22:22:39 GMT Mynalvez 2020-10-11T22:22:39Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/CFA-using-PROC-CALIS-SAS-9-4/m-p/690832#M33305 <P>Hello SAS Community:</P><P>Just wanted to ask about the chi-square dF computed from PROC CALIS fitness statistics (Fit Summary Table).
