  1. Note. BIC = Bayesian information criterion; sample-adjusted BIC = sample-adjusted Bayesian information criterion; VLMR = Vuong-Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood ratio test; BLRT = bootstrapped likelihood-ratio test. Numbers in brackets indicate that patterns differ significantly at p < .05. aThe BLRT could only be performed without correction for nesting.
