,SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF LATENT SCORES
Peter M. Bentler · Multivariate Behavioral Research · 1968
A number of multivariate psychometric models hypothesize that a data matrix of observed, scores equals the sum of two mutually orthogonal latent matrices. Relationships among latent and observed scores are investigated psychometrically using the concept of the general inverse. A number of previously unrecognized characteristics of the latent scores are thus brought to light.
