Summary
Four topics on model modification in covariance structure analysis are covered. 1. A comparison by Monte Carlo methods of statistical criteria used to detect the correct model under conditions of misspecification. 2. The effect of a number of factors on the behaviour of these criteria. 3. The scale dependency of the criteria. 4. An alternative model test procedure.
