Model specification searches in structural equation modeling using tabu search
George A. Marcoulides, Zvi Drezner, Randall E. Schumacker · Structural Equation Modeling A Multidisciplinary Journal · 1998
This article introduces an alternative structural equation modeling (SEM) specification search approach that is based on the Tabu search procedure. Using data with known structure, the performance of the Tabu search is illustrated. The results demonstrate the capabilities of the Tabu search procedure for conducting specification searches in SEM.
