Some Contributions to Efficient Statistics in Structural Models: Specification and Estimation of Moment Structures.

Bentler, Peter M.

Psychometrika, v48 n4 p493-517 Dec 1983

Current practice in structural modeling of variables is limited to means and covariances based on multivariate normality assumptions. This article extends structural equation models to higher order product moments and to non-normal distributions. Areas of possible research are described. (Author/JKS)
