  • SEM survey data, badness of fit, SRMR=0.000

    Dear Statalist,
    I run the following command in Stata 14.2 with weighted survey data (n=3000):
    Code:
    sem (i15ptotn -> p15w228, ) (workload -> i15ptotn, ) (workload -> p15w228, ) (age15 -> i15ptotn, ) (age15 -> p15w228, ) (edyear15 -> i15ptotn, ) (edyear15 -> p15w228, ) (p15f50 -> i15ptotn, ) (p15f50 -> p15w228, ) (firmsizelog -> i15ptotn, ) (firmsizelog -> p15w228, ) (is4famoma -> i15ptotn, ) (is4famoma -> p15w228, ) (tr1maj15 -> i15ptotn, ) (tr1maj15 -> p15w228, ) [pweight = weight_new], nocapslatent
    and afterwards:
    Code:
    estat gof, stats(all)
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fit statistic        |      Value   Description
    ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
    Size of residuals    |
                    SRMR |      0.000   Standardized root mean squared residual
                      CD |      0.565   Coefficient of determination
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Note: model was fit with vce(robust); only stats(residuals) valid.
    I'm concerned about an SRMR of 0.000 which shows a perfect fit. But how should I deal with it? Is that a sign for a missspecification of the model?

    Thanks for advices,
    Andri
