Non-Linear Relationships in SEM with Latent Variables: Some Theoretical Remarks and a Case Study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The object of the work is to take into account non-linear relationships in path analysis models with latent variables. Some theoretical remarks are made on the context where non-linearity is to be considered (i.e. inner and/or outer model). Diagnostic tools to test the existence of a non-linear relationship are also presented, mainly with reference to the so-called Kano models. An application to data coming from a survey on the customers of a financial organization is finally presented.
