On Exact Statistical Properties of Multidimensional Indices Based on Principal Components, Factor Analysis, MIMIC and Structural Equation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent empirical literature has seen many multidimensional indices emerge as well-being or poverty measures, in particular indices derived from principal components and various latent variable models. Though such indices are being increasingly and widely employed, few studies motivate their use or report the standard errors or confidence intervals associated with these estimators. This paper reviews the different underlying models, reaffirms their appropriateness in this context, examines the statistical properties of resulting indices, gives analytical expressions of their variances and establishes certain exact relationships among them.

Introduction: Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a very general statistical modeling technique, which is widely used in the behavioral sciences. It can be viewed as a combination of path analysis, regression and factor analysis. One of the prominent features of this method is the ability to compute direct, indirect and total effects, as well as latent variable modeling. Methods: This sy...

متن کاملMultivariate Statistical Analysis
Classical multivariate statistical methods concern models, distributions and inference based on the Gaussian distribution. These are the topics in the first textbook for mathematical statisticians by T.W. Anderson that was published in 1958 and that appeared as a slightly expanded 3rd edition in 2003. Matrix theory and notation is used there extensively to efficiently derive properties of the m...
