Assessing local fit by approximating probabilities
Keyword(s):
Validity evidence for factor structures underlying a set of items can come from how well a proposed model reconstructs, or fits, the observed relationships. Global model fit is limited in that some components of the proposed model fit better than other components. This limitation has lead to the recommendation of examining fit locally within model components. We describe a new probabilistic approach to assessing local fit using a Bayesian approximation and illustrate use with a simulated dataset. We show how the posterior approximation closely approximated the sampling distribution of the true parameter. We discuss potential limitations and possible generalizations.
