Interpretation of Residual Paths and Decomposition of Variance.

MacDonald, K. I.

Sociological Methods and Research, v7 n3 p289-304 Feb 1979

The use of a path analysis model to obtain unique, substantively meaningful decomposition of variance among endogenous (independent) variables in the model is argued. This reasoning runs counter to more traditional path analytic work. An example is provided. (Author/JKS)
