Measurement Invariance: Testing for It and Explaining Why It is Absent
Survey Research Methods, 2020 There has been a significant increase in cross-national and longitudinal data production in social science research in recent decades. Before drawing substantive conclusions based on cross-national and longitudinal survey data, researchers need to ...

Invariant measures for solvable groups and Diophantine approximation [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2017 We show that if $\mathcal{L}$ is a line in the plane containing a badly approximable vector, then almost every point in $\mathcal{L}$ does not admit an improvement in Dirichlet's theorem. Our proof relies on a measure classification result for certain measures invariant under a non-abelian two dimensional group on the homogeneous space $\mathrm{SL}_3 ...

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 ...

PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundThe Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) is used to assess asthma symptom control. The relationship between the questionnaire items and symptom control has not been fully studied in severe asthmatic patients, and its validity for making ...

Survey Research Methods, 2023 Measurement invariance tests are an important precondition to analyze cross-national data. However, the traditional approach of multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) has been criticized as too strict and more liberal approaches, such as ...

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

Global measurement of intimate partner violence to monitor Sustainable Development Goal 5
BMC Public Health, 2022 Background One third of women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and potential sequelae. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.2—to eliminate violence against women, including IPV—compels states to monitor such violence.

Approximation of the invariant measure of stable SDEs by an Euler–Maruyama scheme
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2023 Accepted by SPA. This version is a little different version from the published one, in which we add in the appendix a shorter proof for a Bismut-Elworthy-Li formula suggested by a very careful and knowledgeable ...
