Using Phantom and Imaginary Latent Variables to Parameterize Constraints in Linear Structural Models.
Rindskopf, David
Psychometrika, v49 n1 p37-47 Mar 1984
Using LISREL, the only types of constraints allowed are fixing parameters at a constant value and constraining parameters to be equal. In this paper, two new concepts ("phantom" and "imaginary" latent variables) are introduced which allow fairly general equality and inequality constraints on factor loadings and structural model coefficients.
