The Robustness of 2SLS Estimation of a Non-normally Distributed Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model.

Brown, R. L.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v25 n4 p455-66 Oct 1990

A Monte Carlo study was conducted to assess the robustness of the limited information two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation procedure on a confirmatory factor analysis model with nonnormal distributions. Full information maximum likelihood methods were used for comparison. One hundred model replications were used to generate data. (TJH)
