Factorial Modeling in Support of Causal Inference.

Lohnes, Paul R.

American Educational Research Journal, v16 n4 p323-40 Fall 1979

Factorial modeling is justified as a method for analyzing correlations in support of causal inference. The method is illustrated and compared to path analysis, LISREL-type analysis, canonical correlation, and commonality analysis. Predictions of impacts of policy manipulations are demonstrated.
