Career
Jöreskog is a Professor Emeritus at Uppsala University, and a co-author (with Dag Sörbom) of the LISREL statistical program Jöreskog received his bachelor"s, master"s, and doctoral degrees in Uppsala University. He is also a former student of Herman Wold.
He was a statistician at Educational Testing Service (ETS) and a visiting professor at Princeton University.
Jöreskog proposed a reliable numerical method for computing maximum-likelihood estimates in factor analysis. Similarly reliable methods were also proposed by Gerhard Derflinger, Robert Jennrich, and Stephen M. Robinson at roughly the same time.
Jöreskog"s Fortran codes helped to popularize factor analysis around the world. While working at the Educational Testing Service and giving lectures at Princeton University, Jöreskog proposed a linear model for the analysis of covariance structures, a fundamental contribution to structural equation modeling (Search Engine Marketing).
His other research interests include multivariate analysis, item response theory, statistical computing, and factor-analysis in geology.
