Summary The model of latent structure analysis for k discrete‐valued variates was explained and illustrated by R.D. G ill [5], Here the latent structure model is related to a condition for a covariance matrix, as in factor analysis theory, and a word of warning is given for the interpretation of a factor analysis from discrete valued variables.
