The Determinacy of Variables in Structural Equation Models.
McDonald, Roderick P.; Bolt, Daniel M.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v33 n3 p385-401 1998
The determinacy of variables in a structural equation model is considered, and it is shown that when the variables in the structural model are all manifest, the error-terms (disturbances) are uniquely determined given the parameters of the data. When the variables are all latent, the error-terms have indeterminate components. (SLD)
