| Summary: | Structural Equation Model (SEM) with latent variable is a powerful tool for
social and behavioral scientists, because it combines a lot of psychometrics and econometrics
into a single framework. The estimator often used in SEM is Maximum Likelihood
Estimator (MLE). When the high properties desired, the MLE and the other full
information estimators will otherwise remain lacked. The main thing is that when a
part of the model misspecified, almost always the case. The bias can be spread on the
specific model, because the model parameter estimation is conducted simultaneously.
With these reasons, the optional alternative study is continuous limited information
estimator
