The Effects of Sample Design and Measure Reliability on Lisrel-Based Hypothesis Tests

Abstract

dc:description

This report describes how sample design and measure reliability affect the power of hypothesis tests from LISREL's maximum Likelihood ratio. Using simulation data and data from the High School and Beyond survey (HSB), I show that test power decreases when sample design differs from an unrestricted random sample assumed for LISREL's maximum likelihood estimators (MLE).
