- 😱 'The sheer number of EFA structures that was deemed 'passing' by CFA fit indices made me realize that perfect simple structure is really more of an assumption than a real tested proposition in CFA.'
- In fact, fit indices are non-monotone functions of the number of positive cross-loadings in the true model, so that more cross-loadings in the true model does not necessarily translate into worse fit of the CFA model! The relationship becomes monotone only when cross-loadings are of mixed sign.
