Is Your Mediation Model a Good Fit?

The fit of a model is such a funny thing, it is made up of parts of your model that are just identified. The mediation stuff is going to require further drill down and within your model, we have what we call indirect effects. If you omit that direct effect, dollars to doughnuts, that mole is going op up in the mediated effect. So i guess the sub title this episode comes because the two nightmares i have is having to redo grad school and going out to play a trumpet.
