Mplus Discussion > Confirmatory Factor Analysis > Message/Author  kyle posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 - 8:59 pm Can we use binary variables as factor indicators of a latent construct?

I used three continuous variables and two binary variables to build a latent construct. But I was told this is not valid.  Bengt O. Muthen posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 - 6:30 pm Q1: Yes.
