An alternative method for ordered categorical data is scheduled to be included in a future release Amos. Our hope is that the Amos method will give acceptable results for more typical sample sizes. Bootstrap-corrected ADF test statistics in covariance structure analysis.
Maximum likelihood comes in a variety of flavors, even with just the multivariate normal case.
Amos uses all information of the observed data, while many other methods do not. The likelihood is computed for the observed portion of each case's data and then accumulated and maximized. Amos's ML approach usually yields results equivalent to Don Rubin's EM approach, except that Amos also incorporates constrained moment matrix estimation.
