MEE

español al inglés Ciencias sociales Matemáticas y estadística
I'm pretty sure this is in fact an acronym in English but I can't seem to find the right correspondence. I know MLE is "máximum likelihood estimation and RMSEA is "root mean square error of approximation" but I'm a bit stuck on MEE. I have found "maximum error enhancement" but my grasp of statistics is limitedd and I'm not sure:

Los estadísticos de ajuste del modelo se muestran en la Table 3. Para la realización del MEE, se ajustaron las matrices de covariancias utilizando el procedimiento de máxima verosimilitud (MLE) con el software estadístico AMOS 6.0. (Arbuckle, 2005). Siguiendo las recomendaciones de Hoyle & Panter (1995), se evaluó el ajuste del modelo examinando una combinación de estadísticos de ajuste absolutos e incrementales. Los estadísticos de ajuste absolutos que se han incluido en este trabajo son los estadísticos ji cuadrado (χ2) de bondad de ajuste y el Root Mean Square Error of Aproximation (RMSEA; Browne & Cudek, 1993). Los estadísticos de ajuste incrementales que se han incluido son el índice de Tucker & Lewis (TLI; 1973) y el índice de ajuste comparativo (CFI: Bentler, 1989; Hu & Bentler, 1999). Para el correcto ajuste del MEE, Hu & Bentler (1999) sugieren un puntos de corte para CFI > 0.95, TLI > 0.95, RMSEA< 0.06, así como modelos con χ2 estadísticamente no significativas.

No, it's OK. I should have had the confidence to post it as an answer.
DLyons May 29, 2015:
Just noticed Phil's answer. I'm happy to withdraw if he posts it.

The right tree You are barking up the right tree, Phil. Thanks. I was going crazy. This is the only acronym the autor has included in Spanish and has in fact used it earlier on in English - SEM - structural equation modeling. Please post it as an answer and you will get the points.
philgoddard May 29, 2015:
This for some reason abbreviates "modelos de ecuaciones estructurales" as MEs rather than MEEs:
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecuaciones_estructurales
Or I may be barking up the completely wrong tree.
philgoddard May 29, 2015:
I think this may be it, but I know nothing about this subject so I'm not sure.

Thanks Phil. I'm still happy to withdraw :-)

Simulaneous equations systems or models/systems of simultaneous equations

In the econometric literature, the expression 'ecuaciones estructurales' is translated by 'simultaneous equations.' See James Hamilton's graduate school manual, 'Time Series Analysis'
