The object of the work is to take into account non-linear relationships in path analysis models with latent variables. Some theoretical remarks are made on the context where non-linearity is to be considered (i.e. inner and/or outer model). Diagnostic tools to test the existence of a non-linear relationship are also presented, mainly with reference to the so-called Kano models.

Abstract
The object of the work is to take into account non-linear relationships in path analysis models with latent variables. Some theoretical remarks are made on the context where non-linearity is to be considered (i.e. inner and/or outer model). Diagnostic tools to test the existence of a non-linear relationship are also presented, mainly with reference to the so-called Kano models. An application to data coming from a survey on the customers of a financial organization is finally presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
