Calculation

I find it strange that the calculation method states that you should compare the t-statistic with the normal distribution. While I know that this is the case when N is large, shouldn't the more proper thing to do be to compare a t-statistic with the t-distribution? Then you are always safe?

SEM notation

Using arrow diagrams assumes knowledge of SEM on the part of the readers, but the diagram actualy just show a regression model. Therefore this should be simplified and the SEM model should be annotated and linked to the SEM article. Cato The Censor (talk) 13:42, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

true p-value
