Latent Variable Modeling with R

This book demonstrates how to conduct latent variable modeling in R by highlighting the features of each model, their specialized uses, examples, sample code and output, and an interpretation of the results. Each chapter features an example with an analysis of the data using R, the theory, and the assumptions underlying the model to help readers understand the techniques and interpret the results. Every R command necessary for conducting the analyses is described along with the output which provides readers with a template to follow when they apply the methods to their own data. Suggested readings, a glossary, a key R commands, and an accompanying website serve as helpful resources.
