An important class of applications of measurement error or constrained factor .analytic models consists of comparing models for se~eral populations. In such cases it is appropriate to 1DClke explicit statistical tests of model similarity across groups and to constrain some parameters of the models to be equal across groups using a priori substantive information. This paper .~ discusses a statis...

These lecture notes provide an introduction to orthogonal polynomials of several variables. It will cover the basic theory but deal mostly with examples, paying special attention to those orthogonal polynomials associated with classical type weight functions supported on the standard domains, for which fairly explicit formulae exist. There is little prerequisites for these lecture notes, a work...
