As an alternative to imputation, the AMOS software
computes full information maximum likelihood (FIML)
estimates. When data are only missing at random
(MAR), the FIML approach yield parameter estimates
that are efficient and consistent. However, multiple
imputation methods can produce severely biased
results.
