This book provides a comprehensive and unified approach to factor
analysis and latent variable modeling and theory, providing a
unified and coherent treatment from a statistical perspective. A
general framework is presented to enable the derivation of the
commonly used models. Updated numerical examples are provided as
well as the software to carry them out. Written by leading experts
in the field, Latent Variable Models and Factor Analysis: *
Includes new topics such as, covariate effects and non-linear
terms, multiple population analysis and univariate and bivariate
margins. * Provides a new section on structural equation models
(SEM) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, along with illustrative
examples. * Looks at estimation methods, goodness-of-fit,
non-linear models, covariates, longitudinal data and multilevel
modeling along with updated examples throughout. * Unifies many
different streams of latent variable modeling and probability
modeling. An introductory section is provided, which looks at the
nature and interpretation of a latent variable, motivating
discussions of closely related methods which make little or no
explicit use of latent variables. Principal components are
discussed in more depth, exploring its relationship to factor
analysis in both historical and contemporary and theoretically and
empirically. Furthermore, the book explores The Bonds' Model for
abilities, a model which has a correlation structure which is
identical to that of the factor model and hence cannot be
distinguished from it and does not involve latent variables. No
prior acquaintance with latent variable modeling is needed although
a broad understanding of statistical theory is necessary.
