Latent Variable Models of Dichotomous Data
This issue of Sociological Methods & Research contains four excellent illustrations of current methods for analyzing dichotomous data: dichotomous factor analysis (Muthén, 1989), latent trait analysis (Eaton et al., 1989), and grade of membership analysis (Woodbury and Manton, 1989). These methods are now sufficiently developed for use by researchers, though a lack of available software for the grade of membership model renders that method mostly…
Covariance Structure Models
The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but rather as reciprocally constructing phenomena. Despite this ...Read More

MISS is a computer program written in the GAUSS programming language for the microcomputer (with DOS operating system and mathcoprocessor). It provides several options for incomplete data sets. First, it will produce maximum likelihood estimates of the covariance matrix and mean vector via the EM algorithm. It will also generate a new data set with data substituted for the missing observations. This is analogous to computing factors scores in fac…

Application of the EM Method
The EM (Estimation-Maximization) algorithm is exploited to provide maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of multiple indicator/factor analysis models. This method reduces considerably the storage and computational burden of such estimation. A computer program in BASIC language that performs the computations is listed in an appendix. The specification of correlated errors is also provided for in this application of the method
Alcohol Use and Cognitive Loss among Employed Men and Women
A representative sample of 1,367 employed men and women in Detroit responded to questions about their drinking practices and then completed a cognitive test which measures abstraction abilities. Abstraction, tested while respondents were sober, decreased significantly as reported quantity of alcohol usually consumed per drinking occasion increased. (Am J Public Health 1983; 73:521-526.)
Multiple Indicator Models
Expressions are given for the calculation of the estimates and the standard errors of the estimates of the unconstrained means of the constructs in multiple indicator models. If the 'reference' indicators-that is, the indicators whose loadings are fixed to 1., thereby identifying the variance of the construct and establishing its scale or units of measure-are exclusive-that is, load only on the construct for which it is a 'reference'-then the con…
Assessing Comparability of Measurement in Cross-National Research
Joanne Miller, Kazimierz M. Slomczynski, Ronald J. Schoenberg, Assessing Comparability of Measurement in Cross-National Research: Authoritarian-Conservatism in Different Sociocultural Settings, Social Psychology Quarterly, Vol. 44, No. 3 (Sep., 1981), pp. 178-191

Dynamic models and cross-sectional data
Strategies for Meaningful Comparison
D. T. Campbell and T. C. Stanley (1963, p. 176) pinpointed perhaps the crucial aspect of research activity: Any appearance of absolute knowledge or intrinsic knowledge about singular isolated objects is found to be illusory upon analysis. Securing scientific evidence involves making at least one comparison. In nonexperimental and survey research especially, many comparisons-the more the better-are made in order to estimate and control for extrane…
