I am trying to understand how to use Lisrel to produce the best model for my survey data. I have read through the guides provided by the website but still do not seem to understand the following:
1. How to tell if a path is significant
2. How to interpret the modification indices (I was hoping for a table that would tell me that removing or adding a path or variable will increase my model fit by X like in regression models)
Is there a good free or relatively cheap reference that could help me understand this better?
FYI: I have 16 entry characteristics, 2 scaled scores used to predict two outcome variables. Sample size 212 (yes I know that's a little low for the number of variables I have at the moment)
Thanks for any advice!
