IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Specifies that any sample covariances that are read from a data file are (biased) maximum likelihood estimates of the corresponding population covariances. In other words, the input covariance matrix is assumed to be made up of sums of squares and cross products, divided by N (rather than by N - 1).

Default
Sample covariances that are read from a data file are assumed to be (biased) maximum likelihood estimates.
Remarks
FitMLMoments and InputMLMoments have different effects. InputMLMoments specifies that any sample covariance matrix that is read from a data file is a maximum likelihood estimate. FitMLMoments, on the other hand, tells Amos to fit the model to the sample covariance matrix (
in Appendices A and B) that is the maximum likelihood estimate.
