...an index developed by Bollen (BL89; 1989), Bender's (1989, 1990) and McDonald and Marsh's (1990) Relative Noncentrality Index (RNI), and Bender's Comparative Fit Index (CFI)....

...As noted by Bentler and Bonett (1980), fit indexes were designed to avoid some of the problems of sample size and distributional misspecification associated with the conventional overall test of fit (the % statistic) in the evaluation of a model....

...Hu and Bentler (1997) found that a designated cutoff value may not work equally well with various types of fit indexes, sample sizes, estimators, or distributions....

...A noncentrality fit index usually involves first defining a population-fit-index parameter and then using estimators of this parameter to define the sample-fit index (Bentler, 1990; McDonald, 1989; McDonald & Marsh, 1990; Steiger, 1989)....
[...]
...As a consequence, alternative measures of fit, namely, so-called fit indices, were developed and recommended as plausible additional measures of model fit (e.g., Akaike, 1987; Bentler, 1990; Bentler & Bonett, 1980; Bollen, 1986, 1989; lames, Mulaik, & Brett, 1982; JOreskog & Sorbom, 1981; Marsh, Balla, & McDonald, 1988; McDonald, 1989; McDonald & Marsh, 1990; Steiger & Lind, 1980; Tanaka, 1987; Tanaka & Huba, 1985; Tucker & Lewis, 1973)....

...This is consistent with the theoretically predicted asymptotic properties and has been noted previously in several other studies (e.g., Bearden et al., 1982; Bentler, 1990; La Du & Tanaka, 1989)....

...This index was first introduced by Bentler (1990) and subsequently included as part of the fit indices in his EQS program (Kline, 2005)....

...The Comparative Fit Index (CFI: Bentler, 1990) is a revised form of the NFI which takes into account sample size (Byrne, 1998) that performs well even when sample size is small (Tabachnick and Fidell, 2007)....
[...]
...However in situations were small samples are used, the value of the NNFI can indicate poor fit despite other statistics pointing towards good fit (Bentler, 1990; Kline, 2005; Tabachnick and Fidell, 2007)....
[...]
...A major drawback to this index is that it is sensitive to sample size, underestimating fit for samples less than 200 (Mulaik et al, 1989; Bentler, 1990), and is thus not recommended to be solely relied on (Kline, 2005)....
