title: "Sequential Confirmatory Factor Analysis"
abstract: >
  Sequential CFA is a novel approach to hierarchical Confirmatory Factor Analysis
  that estimates each stage independently, allowing for estimation of small-N samples.
  Factor score estimation in small sample sizes often encounters parameter bias and
  convergence failures when constructing hierarchical national/sub-national indices.
  This method calculates factor scores sequentially from the lowest to highest levels,
  keeping the original sample size in each step and removing cross-level covariance
  estimation.
