Spanish term or phrase: MEE
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.

Thanks, although had I thought to look for it in Spanish, I would have not needed your help!

Simulaneous equations systems or models/systems of simultaneous equations


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