The EM (Estimation-Maximization) algorithm is exploited to provide maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of multiple indicator/factor analysis models. This method reduces considerably the storage and computational burden of such estimation. A computer program in BASIC language that performs the computations is listed in an appendix. The specification of correlated errors is also provided for in this application of the method.
