factor structure of an inventory

Question

I have an inventory with 6 broad factors, with 4 narrow factors associated with each of them, and 12 items for each of those narrow factors. I need to test whether the data exhibit the intended factor structure using CFA. What kind of models would I need to run in order to do this?

Answer 1

Hi — just to flag, this board is for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program, but your question is about confirmatory factor analysis (a psychometrics/statistics topic).
