Bias direction=, Write= and "B" in Models= statements control these Tables of bias interaction designators, "B", have been included in the measurement models, then bias estimates will be made. All estimates reported in the main analysis are fixed (anchored). Then Facets estimates the size of bias measures from the residuals of the main analysis. This process is repeated as many times as there are models with bias designators.

 

For each model specifying bias designators, a set of tables is produced, which estimate the designated bias as it is represented in all the modeled data (not just for the model containing the bias designators).

There are empirically 21 Bias terms
