Abstract | The clue to what latent variable models are, and to a workable account of the basis for the traditional manifest/latent variable distinction, lies in a reconsideration of the indeterminacy property of linear factor structures. In this article, the authors contend that latent variable models are not detectors of unobservable latent structures, properties/attributes, causal sources, or anything else. They are of a kind with component models, and, while both possess model-like features, neither is a model in the classical sense of the term (for neither involves rules that establish entity/symbol correspondences).
