Download or read book Statistical Modelling and Latent Variables written by Klaus Haagen and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1993 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical methods based on models with latent variables play an important role in the analysis of multivariate data. The subject can be approached theoretically or in an empirical, pragmatic way. The statistical problem is to make inferences about the latent variables and the relationships between them. Errors-in-variables models, factor analysis and latent structure models are all examples of this approach. This volume presents a selection of invited and contributed papers which address the problems involved in developing a unifying statistical theory for latent variable models.
