Peer reviewedBentler, P. M.; Jamshidian, Mortaza – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1994
A general approach is proposed to avoid improper solutions in structural equation models. The constrained estimation approach presented, which is based on an adaptation of a globally convergent method for nonlinear programming, has worked well in all trials. (SLD)

Peer reviewedMueller, Ralph O. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1997
Basic philosophical and statistical issues in structural equation modeling (SEM) are reviewed, including model conceptualization, identification, and parameter estimation and data-model-fit assessment and model modification. These issues should be addressed before the researcher uses any of the new generation of SEM software. (SLD)
