Latent Variable Modeling and Applications to Causality

This volume gathers refereed papers presented at the 1994 UCLA conference on "La­ tent Variable Modeling and Application to Causality. " The meeting was organized by the UCLA Interdivisional Program in Statistics with the purpose of bringing together a group of people who have done recent advanced work in this field. The papers in this volume are representative of a wide variety of disciplines in which the use of latent variable models is rapidly growing. The volume is divided into two broad sec
