Abstract
This article concerns multi-group covariance structure analysis with s tructured means. The traditional latent selection model is formulated as a special case of phenotypic selection, that is, selection based no t on latent variables, but on observed variables. This formulation has the advantage that it enables one to test very specific hypotheses co ncerning selection on latent variables. Illustrations are given using simulated and real data.
