Something that for instance is not even possible to do in SVSS if you're on a Macintosh and if you're doing it in other programs, it gets really really complicated, really fast, and this is by far the easiest, and fastest, and cheapest way to do a very sophisticated procedure. What confirmatory factor analysis or CFA is, is an attempt to take data and say we know how the data is supposed to combine, we know that these 10 variables should go to this factor, these 10 should go to this other factor, it allows you to specify those factors and see how well your data fit your hypothesized factor structure. It also allows you by the way, to compare the fit of factor structures across two different samples, that's a different thing. But…
