Cross Validated Asked by L.sicilis on December 13, 2020
I’m currently trying to identify how to evaluate model fit with Bayesian SEM. I’ve been reading that the posterior predictive p-value can be used, with a p-value of approximately 0.5 indicating good model fit (Song and Lee 2012). This source also suggests residual analysis can be used for BSEMs.
I had two questions regarding this:
1.) Are there any additional fit indices or methods used to evaluate BSEMs?
2.) Does anyone know how to perform residual analysis with the blavaan package in R?
