Six methods for fitting path models with weighted composites of variables replacing latent variables (of which five are easily implemented with conventional computer software) are introduced and related to "soft modelling" by Partial Least Squares. Criteria for comparing their performance are devised. and some evaluative remarks are offered.
介绍了六种用变量的加权合成替代潜在变量来拟合路径模型的方法(其中五种方法可通过传统计算机软件轻松实现),并将其与偏最小二乘法的“软建模”相关联。设计了比较它们性能的标准,并给出了一些评价性的意见。
