Comparing Rasch Measurement and Factor Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wright, Benjamin D. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1996
Rasch measurement is preferable to factor analysis for reducing complex data matrices to unidimensional variables because factor analysis can mistake ordinally labeled stochastic observations for linear measures, and it does not construct linear measurement. Guidelines and instructions on how to use Rasch measurement to replace factor analysis are…

Using Structural Equation Modeling To Fit Models Incorporating Principal Components.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dolan, Conor; Bechger, Timo; Molenaar, Peter – Structural Equation Modeling, 1999
Considers models incorporating principal components from the perspectives of structural-equation modeling. These models include the following: (1) the principal-component analysis of patterned matrices; (2) multiple analysis of variance based on principal components; and (3) multigroup principal-components analysis. Discusses fitting these models…
