ASYMPTOTIC ROBUSTNESS IN MULTIPLE GROUP LINEAR-LATENT VARIABLE MODELS
多组线性潜变量模型中的渐近稳健性
Standard methods for analyzing linear-latent variable models rely on the assumption that the observed variables are normally distributed. Normality allows statistical inferences to be carried out based solely on the first-and second-order moments. In general, inferences for nonnormally distributed data require the estimates of matrices of third-and fourth-order moments. In the present paper, we show that inferences based on normal theory retain validity and asymptotic…
