Abstract
Abstract Generalization of the Steiger‐Lind root mean square error of approximation fit indexes and interval estimation procedure to models based on multiple independent samples is discussed. In this article, we suggest an approach that seems both reasonable and workable, and caution against one that definitely seems inappropriate.
