To avoid anticonservative rejections of CFA null hypotheses when using Lehmacher's test Küchenhoff suggested to apply a continuity correction. This correction reduces the differences between observed and expected cell frequencies by a constant. The present paper discusses this variant of Lehmacher's test. Application of the correction for continuity in the search for types of sociogene neuropathology are presented. The discussion covers the effectivity of CFA tests in connection with Holm's method of alpha adjustment.
