“…In order to estimate the model parameters, several discrepancy functions could be used. Publications that concentrate on SEM in social science more frequently use maximum likelihood (Ohunakin et al, 2018), generalised (Ejdys et al, 2019;Indartono & Faraz, 2019;Obidjon et al, 2017), partial (Nor Zainal & Kuppusamy, 2017;Alnsour, 2018;Hu et al, 2019;Victor et al, 2019) and weighted least squares (Suifan, 2019).…”
