When Trivial Constraints Are Not Trivial: The Choice of Uniqueness Constraints in Confirmatory Factor Analysis.

Millsap, Roger E.

Structural Equation Modeling, v8 n1 p1-17 2001

Different sets of uniqueness constraints may lead to different fit results when applied to the same data in confirmatory factor analysis. Provides several examples of this phenomenon in simulated data and describes reasons for the variation in fit results. Discusses the choice of uniqueness constraints under these circumstances. (SLD)
