Unexpected (standardized residuals reported if not less than) = 3 |
Up Previous Next |
This controls the size of the smallest standardized residual listed as unexpected in the output results file. When the data fit the model, about 5% of standardized residuals are outside ±2, and about 1% are outside ±3. Residuals concentrated on particular elements show local misfit, which may not be widespread enough to affect the summary fit statistics. At most, T4max= residuals will be reported.
Example 1: To request all residuals with absolute value greater than or equal to 2.5, type
Unexpected=2.5
Example 2: To output residuals for all elements, type
Unexpected=0
Caution: Requesting all residuals can produce voluminous output! It may be more useful to produce a Residual file, see Output=
