IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Controls whether bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals are reported.
Syntax
object.ConfidenceBC (confidenceLevel)
The ConfidenceBC method syntax has the following parts:
Part |
Description |
object |
An object of type AmosEngine. |
confidenceLevel |
Desired confidence level. If the value of confidenceLevel is zero, bias-corrected confidence intervals are not reported. |
Placement: [1].
Default
Bias-corrected confidence intervals are not reported.
Remarks
Amos can produce bootstrapped confidence intervals for all parameter estimates, as well as for estimates displayed by the methods: Standardized, Smc, FactorScoreWeights, TotalEffects, SampleMoments, ImpliedMoments and AllImpliedMoments.
Bootstrap confidence intervals are reported only for those quantities that are estimated. For example, to obtain bootstrapped standard errors for squared multiple correlations, you need to use the Smc method. Similarly, to obtain bootstrapped standard errors for sample correlations, you must use both SampleMoments and Standardized methods.
When you use ConfidenceBC, you must also use Bootstrap to specify the number of bootstrap samples. Note that bias-corrected confidence intervals for estimated indirect effects are provided along with the bias-corrected confidence intervals of the TotalEffects method.
ConfidenceBC requires raw data unless you use MonteCarlo.
