Abstract
Perctiver characteristics need to be modeled in sociometric measurement. The author accomplishes this with a latent trait model of sociometric choice that is especially successful when unlimited nominations are collected.

The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.

The Em procedure is shown to apply to general item-response models lacking simple sufficient statistics for ability, including models with more than one latent dimension, when computing procedures based on an EM algorithm are used.

265 Citations1973Paul W. Holland, Samuel Leinhardt
It is argued that while methods of sociometric analysis have become increasingly more sophisticated they have failed to yield unequivocal results because they do not distinguish structural complexity from measurement error.
