The exact and asymptotic distributions of the maximum likelihood estimate of a factor loading are studied. We study the distribution in a factor analysis model with two normally distributed ...
Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
