The Direct Product Model for the MTMM Matrix Parameterized as a Second Order Factor Analysis Model.

Wothke, Werner; Browne, Michael W.

Psychometrika, v55 n2 p255-62 Jun 1990

The composite direct-product model for the multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix is reparamaterized as a second-order factor analysis model. This process facilitates the use of widely available computer programs--LISREL and LISCOMP--for fitting the model. If bounds on phi and theta are not imposed to avoid inadmissible values, convergence problems may arise. (TJH)
