Why maximum likelihood approach over sample variance?

Maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate population mean and variance. However, we can do it with sample variance too and sample variance is unbiased also. Then why we prefer maximum...

Hello Shakerod,

This topic has been addressed in researchgate several times, if I'm not mistaken.

For a given factor, sum the squared values of estimated variable-factor loadings, then divide that sum by the number of variables. That will give average variance accounted for as a proportion, for that factor. Repeat for any other factors/latent variables in your model.

Also, note that AMOS does not issue standardized coefficients by default; you have to ask for them.

Good luck with your work.
