[RETRACTED ARTICLE] Influence of Entertainment Virtual Anchor Live Broadcast Scene on Fans’ Reward Behavior--A Case Study of the Chinese Market
Abstract
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief
Reason for retract:
The author of the article made a request to retract his own article for the following reasons:
Original (incorrect) text: “SRMR <0.05, 0.259 Acceptable”
Problem: The reported SRMR (Standardized Root Mean Square Residual) values are 0.259 and 0.313, which are above the acceptable standard (should be no more than 0.08 and generally should be < 0.05). However, it is stated as “passed”, which is a misinterpretation and may lead readers to believe that the analysis results are appropriate.
The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused
