Abstract

By means of simulation studies manipulating four factors (number of factors, number of categories, skewness and sample size), the objectives are: To analyze the type I error and the power of the fit indices, such as RMSEA and SRMR obtained using the ULS and RULS methods; and, the ROC curve to review the cut-off points of RMSEA and SRMR.
