Generalized Network Psychometrics: The Structure of Eating Disorders Is Best Explained By a Hybrid Latent Variable and Network Framework

We compared three commonly used methods (latent variable models, network models, and hybrid models with both latent variable and network structures) in their abilities to model the structure of Eating Disorders. The hybrid model was identified as the best-fitting model. Modeling results provide clinical inferences on each Eating Disorder symptom.
