Confirmatory Factor

In a simulation study, no combination of the polychoric correlation coefficient with any LISREL 7 fitting function produced unbiased estimated standard errors or a correctly distributed chi square statistic. However, there were major differences in the performance of the five fitting functions in the analysis of ordinal data.
