Default estimator in CFA analysis ?
In confirmatory factor analysis, the estimator is now set to Default (in the Advanced menu), whereas it was previously set to ML. What does the Default estimator correspond to?

Hi Dimitrib,
You will see that there are a huge number of advanced estimation options for estimators as well as the analysis software that you would like the CFA in jasp to mimic. The default is to mimic the R package lavaan. The default estimator of the package is maximum likelihood estimation when all variables are continuous, so says the documentation here. Estimators and more – lavaan.org That is to say that the default and ML are the same thing. Does that clarify?
Best, Tarandeep
