reparameterization

n. the process of redefining the parameters necessary for the complete specification of a model, usually for the purpose of removing technical difficulties in an analytic solution that stem from the original parameterization. For example, in structural equation modeling a researcher may decide to add another pathway between a manifest variable and a latent variable because of a new insight gained from theory or an empirical result.
