Statistics & Probability Letters, 1990, vol. 9, issue 1, 91-97

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the analysis of structural equation models with polytomous variables. Identification conditions for the basic model are discussed. Theory for the full simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation of the thresholds and the covariance structure parameters is developed. An example is presented to illustrate the method.
