Thanks a lot, Professor Anglim. Your lecture is very helpful. But I still have questions about modifications and really need help from you.
1. In what situation we can drop items to improve the model fit?
2. Is this the right way that we drop some items that have low loadings (<.5) on factors first and then see the possibility of adding a path or drawing covariance?
3. to find the biggest MI for model modification, when should we check the covariances table? When should we check the regression weights table? or we check both at the same time?
Look forward to your reply. Thank you very much indeed.
