Structures of Well-Being: Sufficient Conditions for Identification as Restricted Covariance Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Burt, Ronald S.; And Others – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
An example demonstrates that Joreskog's suggested sufficient conditions for identifying unknown parameters in a confirmatory factor analytic model with correlated factors are not sufficient. Sufficient conditions are presented. (Author/JKS)

Correlated Denominators in Multiple Regression and Change Analyses.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pendleton, Brian F.; And Others – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
Sociological and demographic research often uses variables computed as ratios. When the denominators are highly correlated, and the ratios are used in correlation or regression analysis, a statistical dependency is formed. This article investigates this problem, particularly with respect to partial correlation, multiple regression, and the…

Interpretation of Residual Paths and Decomposition of Variance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
MacDonald, K. I. – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
The use of a path analysis model to obtain unique, substantively meaningful decomposition of variance among endogenous (independent) variables in the model is argued. This reasoning runs counter to more traditional path analytic work. An example is provided. (Author/JKS)
