- could somebody explain in English what the true effect of sample size
- is on maximulikelihood estimates. I have been playing around with
- LISREL and have a little problem conceptualizing the effect of sample
- size on the estimates I get using maximumlikelihood estimators. Are the
- effects comming in becuase of the effect of sample size on the standard
- error of estimates or is there something I am too dense to see.
- I have also learn that the problem with large sample in LISREL is that they
- lead to even small effect being significant... or something like that..
- Furthermore, is a sample of 103 good enough for a full model estimation.
- i.e running the Mesurement equations at the same time as the Structural
- model.
-
- My Q-Plot has a tangent of less than 1 (angle less than 45 degrees) would
- this respond to increase in sample size?...
-
- Thanks for answering this question ... e-mail welcome.
