Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
A structural equation modeling based method is outlined that accomplishes interval estimation of individual optimal scores resulting from multiple-component measuring instruments evaluating single underlying latent dimensions. The procedure capitalizes on the linear combination of a prespecified set of measures that is associated with maximal…

Bowles, Tyler J.; Jones, Jason – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2004
Single equation regression models have been used rather extensively to test the effectiveness of Supplemental Instruction (SI). This approach, however, fails to account for the possibility that SI attendance and the outcome of SI attendance are jointly determined endogenous variables. Moreover, the standard approach fails to account for the fact…
