The Challenges of Higher Order Factor Models
Flexibilities will improve in these kinds of methods as people like you folks out there take these challenges on for interesting methodological projects. The main thing for me is unambiguously communicate every step to the reader, because you do not want to present a model using these techniques that you imply was a priority theoretically driven. It is not. This is a bean and the pile of a cumulative science. If the system is working, someone will replicate the study from a more confirmatory standpoint with an independent sample to lead credence to the characteristics of the model that you presented. You have been listening to Quantitude. Less of an oxymoron and more of just two morons. Thanks everybody.
