Peer reviewedMcDonald, Roderick P.; Mok, Magdalena M.-C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1995
It is shown that goodness-of-fit criteria developed for the evaluation of multivariate structural models can be applied to assist in evaluating the dimensionality of a test consisting of binary items, and correlative methods regularly used in factor analysis can be employed to diagnose causes of misfit.

Peer reviewedMcDonald, Roderick P. – Psychometrika, 1986
There is a unity underlying the diversity of models for the analysis of multivariate data. Essentially, they constitute a family of models, most generally nonlinear, for structural/functional relations between variables drawn from a behavior domain. (Author)
