Goodness of Fit (GoF)

Description

Calculate the Goodness of Fit (GoF) proposed by Tenenhaus et al. (2004). Note that, contrary to what the name suggests, the GoF is not a measure of model fit in the sense of SEM. See e.g. Henseler and Sarstedt (2012) for a discussion.

Usage

calculateGoF(
 .object              = NULL
)

Arguments

.object

An R object of class cSEMResults resulting from a call to csem().

Details

The GoF is inherently tied to the common factor model. It is therefore unclear how to meaningfully interpret the GoF in the context of a model that contains constructs modeled as composites.

Value

A single numeric value.
