Factor Analysis by Instrumental Variables Methods.

Hagglund, Gosta

Psychometrika, v47 n2 p209-22 Jun 1982

Three alternative estimation procedures for factor analysis based on the instrumental variables method are presented. Least squares estimation procedures are compared to maximum likelihood procedures. The conclusion, based on the data used in this study, is that two of the procedures seem to work well. (Author/JKS)
