Hi Dr. Muthen, I am estimating a CFA model with 4 indicators. There are variable amounts of missing data on the 4 indicators. If I want to save factor scores, how are these computed using the available data? Is this done on only on those individuals with full data for all 4 indicators, those with at least two measures, etc.? I am estimating the model using FIML and an MLR estimator. Thank you. Mark |

Factors scores have two components, the model estimated parameters and an individuals factor indicators. The model estimated parameters use all available information. When an individual has a missing value on a factor indicator, a value is imputed using other factor indicator information. |
