Recent reading on Mplus and beyond

When WLSMV was used whether Mplus reports the CI for RMSEA? Searched on Mplus web discussion borad and found out based on mplus guru Linda's responses that Mplus has not developed interval estimate for RMSEA for WLSMV model yet. http://www.statmodel.com/discussion/messages/23/700.html?1118330974 Also, it is possible to get a not significant indirect effect even when all direct effects are significant. On the web http://www.statmodel.com/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi?pg=prev&topic=11&page=432 Dr. Muten gave some explanations on this issue.

This link also helps scholars clarify the puzzles on non-normality, high censoring rate data, Delta method and bootstrping on SE estimate, and the confidence interval for indirect effect (citations are available for this.) .

This link http://www.statmodel.com/discussion/messages/9/63.html?1154711148 conresponds to the issues of identifying the model fit indices when WLSMV was used.
