A General Structural Equation Model with Dichotomous, Ordered Categorical, and Continuous Latent Variable Indicators.

Muthen, Bengt

Psychometrika, v49 n1 p115-32 Mar 1984

A structural equation model is proposed with a generalized measurement part, allowing for dichotomous and ordered categorical variables (indicators) in addition to continuous ones. A computationally feasible three-stage estimator is proposed for any combination of observed variable types. Two multiple-indicator modeling examples are given. (Author/BW)
