Mean and Covariance Structure Analysis: Theoretical and Practical Improvements
均值与协方差结构分析的理论和实践改进
The most widely used multivariate statistical models in the social and behavioral sciences involve linear structural relations among observed and latent variables. In practice, these variables are generally nonnormally distributed; hence classical multivariate analysis, based on multinomial error-free variables having no simultaneous interrelations, is not adequate to deal with such data. A promising alternative, based on asymptotically distribution-free (ADF) covariance…
