MethodologyIn social sciences, researchers often compare relations between constructs, referred to as “structural relations”, across a large number of groups. This paper proposes Mixture Multigroup Bayesian SEM (MixMG-BSEM), a novel method for comparing structural ...

Accounting for Differential Item Functioning Using Bayesian Approximate Measurement Invariance [PDF]
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020 The main thesis of the present study is to use the Bayesian structural equation modeling (BSEM) methodology of establishing approximate measurement invariance (A-MI) using data from a national examination in Saudi Arabia as an alternative to not meeting ...

Survey Research Methods, 2018 This article addresses the approximate approach to assess measurement invariance with (longitudinal) confirmatory factor analysis. Approximate measurement invariance uses zero-mean, small-variance Bayesian priors to allow minor differences in estimated

Comparing results of an exact versus an approximate (Bayesian) measurement invariance test: A cross-country illustration with a scale to measure 19 human values [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 One of the most frequently used procedures for measurement invariance testing is the multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA). Muthén and Asparouhov recently proposed a new approach to test for approximate rather than exact measurement invariance ...

Ordinal measurement invariance of three retained GAEU-1 dimensions in Chilean and Ecuadorian university samples [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyMeaningful cross-national comparisons of self-regulated learning (SRL), motivation, and related learning-regulation constructs require evidence that the measurement model operates comparably across groups.

Tori Approximation of Families of Diagonally Invariant Measures
Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2023 We approximate any portion of any orbit of the full diagonal group $A$ in the space of unimodular lattices in $\RR^n$ using a fixed proportion of a compact $A$-orbit. Using those approximations for the appropriate sequence of orbits, we prove the existence of non-ergodic measures which are also weak limits of compactly supported $A$-invariant measures.
