D)specification search
E)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (path estimates or loadings, standardized residual, modification indices, and specification search) can be used as diagnostic cues to make appropriate modifications in structural equation modeling. Path estimates or loadings may provide information on the strength and direction of relationships between variables, standardized residuals can highlight potential outliers or areas of poor fit, modification indices can suggest possible modifications to improve model fit, and specification search allows for exploring different model configurations to find the best fit. Therefore, all of these options can be helpful in iteration and refinement of a structural equation model.
