In the following sections, we examine ESM results for the different subgroups subdivided into three education levels.12 An examination of the fit of the model to the data aids in determining how well it explains the empirical CDFs. Figure 2 shows the empirical and estimated CDFs of the wages from the first full-time job after graduation by ethnicity for females and males before matching.
Examination of the fit indexes indicated that both models came close to fitting the data however the 4-factor model had better goodness-of-fit coefficients.
Examination of the fit indices revealed that the best fit to the data was offered by Friedman et al.'s [ 33] three-factor model (see figure 1).
Examination of the fit of each item to the Rasch model is undertaken by observing the item thresholds and category probability curves.
Examination of the fit indexes showed that the overall fit of the model was good; all fit indexes surpassed the threshold for adequate fit (likelihood ratio χ [df = 2] = 4.04, P = 0.13; CFI = 0.97; NFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.07).
Examination of the fit indices for each model revealed that the best fit to the data is Clark and Watson's [ 41] three-factor tripartite model, their being little difference between correlated and hierarchically correlated versions of the model.
However, nowhere did we find an examination of the fits of other distributions, and, as illustrated above, other distributions can fit as well or better than the log normal.
Based upon R values and visual examination of the fits, data from this lung infection model study confirmed that fAUC0-24h/MIC and fCmax/MIC well correlated with efficacy of marbofloxacin against P. multocida.
Examination of plots of the fitted spline models suggested linearity might hold on the subset of homes with nonextreme dust endotoxin levels.
Clark & Watson's [ 41] three-factor tripartite and three-factor hierarchical tripartite models [ 40] provided the best fit to the data, examination of the RMSEA and CFI fit tests revealing that these three-factor models satisfied the criteria for a good fit to the data.
