Some algebraic properties of the Reticular Action Model for moment structures

Abstract

A number of models for the analysis of moment structures, such as LISREL, have recently been shown to be capable of being given a particularly simple and economical representation, in terms of the Reticular Action Model (RAM). In contrast to previous treatments, a formal algebraic treatment is provided which shows that RAM directly incorporates many common structural models, including models describing the structure of means. It is also shown here that RAM treats coefficient matrices with patterned inverses simply and generally.
