Wald W values in AMOS

[Myers, Nicholas]

Hello.

I am trying to figure out how to ask AMOS to output Wald W values for parameters estimated in a model.

My current thinking is that squaring the critical ratio for a given parameter will provide a lower-bound approximation for the increase in chi-square if the identified parameter is fixed to zero. Is there a different way to do this in AMOS? If so, references would be appreciated.

Please CC [hidden email]<mailto:[hidden email]> to any on-list responses as I receive responses only daily and in digest format.

Thank you.
