Abstract
ABSTRACT The basic concepts of nonlinear factor analysis are introduced and some extensions of the general theory are developed. An elementary account of the class of multiple‐factor polynomial models is presented, using more elementary algebraic methods than have been employed in earlier accounts of this theory. Working formulas are developed for the multiple‐factor polynomial model without product terms and for the simplest case of a model with product terms. Some empirical results are presented.

The difficulty factor in Group C is shown to correspond to differences in curvature of the regression functions, which correspond in turn to the expectation that an easy test will discriminate best at the lower end of an ability continuum and a difficult test at the higher end.

A complete algebraic treatment is given for the case of a product of two latent variables, and certain more general cases are briefly outlined.
