The authors describe a process of extracting a cointegrated model from a database. An important part of the process is a model generator that automatically searches for cointegrated models and orders them according to an information criterion. They build and test a non-heuristic model generator that mines for common factor models, a special kind of cointegrated models. An outlook on potential future developments is given.

Common Factor Models

Previous research and methodological advice has focused on the importance of accounting for measurement error in psychological data. That perspective assumes that psychological variables conform to a common factor model, such that they consist of construct variance plus error. In this paper, we explore what happens when a set of items that are not generated from a common factor construct model are nonetheless modeled as reflecting a common factor. Through a series of hypothetical examples and an empirical re-analysis, we show that (1) common factor models tend to produce extremely biased and highly variable structural parameter estimates when the population model is not a common factor model; (2) model fit is a poor indicator of the degree of bias; and (3) composite models are sometimes more reliable than common factor models under alternative measurement structures, though they also lead to unacceptably bad solutions in some cases.
