Variables for structural equation modeling can be either observed (measured
directly by the data) or latent. Latent variables are unobserved but are implied by the
relationships noted between multiple factors. The latent variables are stipulated...

(Hoyle, 1995). A model that is overidentified can have as many degrees of freedom
indicated by the variances and covariances less the number of free parameters (Hoyle,
1995). In effect, there is more than one way to calculate from the data a...

matrix. The smaller the residual matrix, the better the model estimation, thus iteration
continues until the residual matrix is minimized (Hoyle, 1995). This...
