| abstract | In this paper, a two-way multigroup common factor model (MG-CFM) is presented,
which can be used to estimate two-way interaction between grouping variables on
latent variables. By applying a likelihood ratio test, a two-way interaction can
be tested. The effectiveness of this MG-CFM likelihood ratio test is evaluated in a
Monte Carlo simulation, comparing statistical power and robustness to MANOVA’s
F-test. The results of the simulation show that Type-I error control is satisfactory
for both tests and considerable higher power can be achieved when a MG-CFM is
used rather than a MANOVA. |
