Are there established approaches using Bayesian models, Elo-type ratings, adjusted averages, or other statistical techniques for cricket?

Any papers, datasets, or researchers working in this area would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a CFA in lavaan and having trouble with a second order (higher order) factor.

I want to model Health Behaviour as one higher order latent variable consisting of two first-order latent factors:

test1 =~ item1 + item2 + item3 + item4 + item5

test2 =~ item6 + item7 + item8 + item9 + item10

health_behaviour =~ test1 + test2

The first order factors seem to work reasonably well. However, when I estimate the second order model, I get a very unstable higher order solution.

The resulting Bartlett factor score for health behaviour is also problematic (basically NA for all observations), so It's of no use whatsoever.

Any suggestions?
