load on it, and the errors of these indicators are not correlated with
one another.
There are two or more latent variables, each has at least three
indicators that load on it, and the errors of these indicators are not
correlated, each indicator loads on only one factor, and the factors
are allowed to covary.
There are two or more latent variables, but there is a latent variable
on which only two indicators load, the errors of the indicators are
not correlated, each indicator loads on only one factor, and none of
variances or covariances between factors is zero.
The Default model, contains the fit statistics for the model you

Theoretical assumptions
Causality:
X1 and Y1 correlate.
X1 precedes Y1 chronologically.
X1 and Y1 are still related after controlling other
dependencies.
Statistical assumptions
Model needs to be recursive.
It is OK to use ordinal data.
All variables are measured (and analyzed) without
measurement error ( = 0).

causal system.
It starts with structural Equationa mathematical
equation representing the structure of variables
relationships to each other.
