First Order or Higher Order General Factor?

Mulaik, Stanley A.; Quartetti, Douglas A.

Structural Equation Modeling, v4 n3 p193-211 1997

The Schmid-Leiman (J. Schmid and J. M. Leiman, 1957) decomposition of a hierarchical factor model converts the model to a constrained case of a bifactor model with orthogonal common factors that is equivalent to the hierarchical model. This article discusses the equivalence of the hierarchical and bifactor models. (Author/SLD)
