could somebody explain in English what the true effect of sample size is on maximulikelihood estimates. I have been playing around with LISREL and have a little problem conceptualizing the effect of sample size on the estimates I get using maximumlikelihood estimators. Are the effects comming in becuase of the effect of sample size on the standard error of estimates or is there something I am too dense to see. I have also learn that the problem with large sample in LISREL is that they lead to even small effect being significant... or something like that.. Furthermore, is a sample of 103 good enough for a full model estimation. i.e running the Mesurement equations at the same time as the Structural model. My Q-Plot has a tangent of less than 1 (angle less than 45 degrees) would this respond to increase in sample size?... Thanks for answering this question ... e-mail welcome. Mokaba
