Appendix A Statistical Details 671<br />

The Factor Models<br />

Figure A.1 Comparison of Summary Information for Nominal <strong>and</strong> Ordinal Fits<br />

The parameter estimates are very different because of the different coding. Note that the missing cell affects<br />

estimability for some nominal parameters but for none of the ordinal parameters.<br />

Figure A.2 Comparison of Parameter Estimates for Nominal <strong>and</strong> Ordinal Fits<br />

The singularity details show the linear dependencies (<strong>and</strong> also identify the missing cell by examining the<br />

values).<br />

Figure A.3 Comparison of Singularity Details for Nominal <strong>and</strong> Ordinal Fits<br />

The effect tests lose degrees of freedom for nominal. In the case of B, there is no test. For ordinal, there is no<br />

loss because there is no missing cell for the base first level.
