Hello, I would like to run both linear and quadratic growth models using a count outcome (days paid for employment) measured at four timepoints. How do I determine which is a better fit to the data? When I try to run these models, the only fit statistics that are given are the loglikelihood and the AIC/BIC. Is it possible to get the chi-squre, CFI, RMSEA etc for this type of model? Thank you, Sarah Dauber |

Just run the quadratic model and check if the quadratic growth factor mean is significant. Version 5 of Mplus will have bivariate fit statistics for counts. |
