This video provides an introduction as to how we can derive the variance-covariance matrix for a set of indicator variables, when we use the matrix notation form of factor analysis models. Check out ben-lambert.com/econometrics-course-problem-sets-and-data for course materials, and information regarding updates on each of the courses. Quite excitingly (for me at least), I am about to publish a whole series of new videos on Bayesian statistics on youtube. See here for information: ben-lambert.com/bayesian Accompanying this series, there will be a book: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1473916364/ref=pe_3140701_247401851_em_1p_0_ti
