Summary
Applications of bootstrap and jackknife for covariance structure analysis under violation of standard maximum likelihood assumptions (small sample size, analysis of correlation matrices, and nonnormality) are discussed. Procedures are illustrated for a factor analysis model, using LISREL. Facta and failures of the resampling methods are covered. For bootstrap and jackknife a computer program with graphical facilities is introduced.
