Re: st: Q on reg3 output for model fit

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

I would worry more about the chi-square statistic of fit (i.e., 
overidentification statistic, which is what I assume you are talking 
about). If that is significant, the model is misspecified and an 
unlikely candidate to have generated the data. So, I would rethink the 
model.

Best,
J.

As I understand, this can happen when the mean of the dependent variable is a better predictor than the model.  However, the p-values of the chi-square statistic are significant.  What if anything can I determine about model fit from the R-square and chi-square statistics in the output of reg3?
