Example 5
Consider, for instance, the knowledge submodel: The scores of the two split-half
subtests, 1knowledge and 2knowledge, are hypothesized to depend on the single
underlying, but not directly observed variable, knowledge. According to the model,
scores on the two subtests may still disagree, owing to the influence of error3 and
error4, which represent errors of measurement in the two subtests. 1knowledge and
2knowledge are called indicators of the latent variable knowledge. The measurement
model for knowledge forms a pattern that is repeated three more times in the path
diagram shown above.
Structural Model
The portion of the model that specifies how the latent variables are related to each other
is sometimes called the structural model.
