Why no results in AMOS after boottraping?

You can't see AMOS output for some parts after running boottrap because they only shows up when you click in 'Estimates', scalar.

'Estimates': show results under Joint Multivariate normality assumption, while boottrap (a smaller window below the main window) should the same estimates but using different parameters calculated by running 250-2000 random samples taken from your sample.

Boottrap creates new 'critical values' for non-normal data, then uses these values to judge the null hypothesis. Under normal condition (normality), a critical value for z statistic is (-1.96: +1.96). But under non-normal condition, this technique creates creates a new 'z' and compare the obtained statistic (whatever it is) with this new one.
