Multitrait-Multimethod Model
A Multitrait-Multimethod (MTMM) model is form of factor analysis making use of multiple measurement instruments.
Description
The model begins with a set of latent constructs, which are related to both random error and measurements.
A set of measurement instruments are employed, with the null hypothesis generally being that there is no method effect leading to differential estimation.
