Examples: CONFIRMATORY FACTOR analysis And Structural Equation Modeling 55 CHAPTER 5 EXAMPLES: CONFIRMATORY FACTOR analysis AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING CONFIRMATORY FACTOR analysis (CFA) is used to study the relationships between a set of observed variables and a set of continuous latent variables. When the observed variables are categorical, CFA is also referred to as item response theory (IRT) analysis (Fox, 2010; van der Linden, 2016). CFA with covariates (MIMIC) includes models where the relationship between factors and a set of covariates are studied to understand measurement invariance and population heterogeneity. These models can include direct effects, that is, the regression of a FACTOR indicator on a covariate in order to study measurement non-invariance. Structural equation modeling (SEM) includes models in which regressions among the continuous latent variables are estimated (Bollen, 1989; Browne & Arminger, 1995; Joreskog & Sorbom, 1979).
