| Description | The latent variables model when employed in econometrics, bring about certain specific features concerning the specification of the basic model structure, the estimation methods and the interpretation of the results, too. This article describes various forms of the model specification, and several tools for the estimation of these models when analyzed by the means of the AMOS/LISREL software. Besides presenting the statistical foundation of the models and the estimation techniques, the paper discusses some aspects of the their practical employment including the ways how to attain the identification status of the model, and how to obtain the maximum information through the rich specter of output characteristics providing by the AMOS program. |
