Issues with WLSMV Estimator in SEM (Ordinal Data, Likert Scale)
First of all, thank you for the great work on Jamovi. it's a fantastic tool for applied statistical analysis. I'm currently working on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using ordinal data (5-point Likert scale), and I've encountered some issues when using the WLSMV estimator for CFA, which is typic...
