摘要
The latent growth curve modeling (LGM) and random effects modeling (REM) frameworks are analytically and empirically equivalent for intrinsically linear models and used interchangeably for intrinsically nonlinear models. However, while LGM provides overall model fit indices, REM does not. Overall model fit indices are useful because they evaluate how well a specified model fits data. This paper proposes to translate model fit concepts from LGM to REM to help researchers compute overall model fit indices, including the model chi-square (chi 2), comparative fit index (CFI), root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA), and standardized root mean squared residual (SRMR). Three empirical examples were used as illustrations.
