Structural equation models with dichotomous variables

Structural equation models with dichotomous variables The dichotomous items are assumed to associated a or a group of latent factors. The estmiation of this kind of model can be find in the line of studies using EM algorithm. Full infromation maximum likelihood estimation plays a important role in the factor analysis when the items are dichotomous (Bock and Aitkin, 1981).
