Troubleshooting
Problem
I have been working on AMOS to analyze a structural equation model. I have been trying to verify the calculation of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test. Specifically, I cannot understand how sample moments are determined. The model has 14 variances 33 regression weights 21 covariances 7 means 7 intercepts equalling 82 free parameters. The calculation of df is 119 - 82 = 37. How was the value of 119 determined? In general, what is the formula for the calculation of the number of distinct sample moments?
