Problems with EM Algorithms for ML Factor Analysis.

Bentler, P. M.; Tanaka, Jeffrey S.

Psychometrika, v48 n2 p247-51 Jun 1983

Rubin and Thayer recently presented equations to implement maximum likelihood estimation in factor analysis via the EM algorithm. It is argued here that the advantages of using the EM algorithm remain to be demonstrated. (Author/JKS)
