Abstract The most widely used multivariate statistical models in the social and behavioral sciences involve linear structural relations among observed and latent variables. In practice, these variables are generally nonnormally distributed; hence classical multivariate analysis, based on multinomial error-free variables having no simultaneous interrelations, is not adequate to deal with such data. A promising alternative, based on asymptotically distribution-free (ADF) covariance structure analysis, has been found to be virtually useless in practical model evaluation at finite sample sizes with nonnormal data. We take a new look at the basic statistical theory of structural models under arbitrary distributions, using the methodology of nonlinear regression and generalized least squares estimation. For example, we adopt the use of residual weight matrices from regression theory. We develop a series of estimators and tests based on arbitrary distribution theory. We obtain a type of probabilistic Bartlett co...
