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 ...

An Elementary Approach to Rigorous Approximation of Invariant Measures [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2014 We describe a framework in which is possible to develop and implement algorithms for the approximation of invariant measures of dynamical systems with a given bound on the error of the approximation. Our approach is based on a general statement on the approximation of fixed points for operators between normed vector spaces, allowing an explicit ...

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 ...

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.

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

Strongly Universal Quantum Turing Machines and Invariance of Kolmogorov Complexity [PDF]
, 2006 We show that there exists a universal quantum Turing machine (UQTM) that can simulate every other QTM until the other QTM has halted and then halt itself with probability one.

Frontiers in Political Science, 2021 Although measurement invariance is widely considered a precondition for meaningful cross-sectional comparisons, substantive studies have often neglected evaluating this assumption, thereby risking drawing conclusions and making theoretical ...

Best Approximation, Invariant Measures, and Fixed Points
Journal of Approximation Theory, 2000 Let \((X,\|\cdot\|)\) be a Banach space, \(M\) be a closed convex subset of \(X\) and \(p\in X\setminus M.\) For a given semigroup \(S\) let \({\mathfrak{S}}=\{T_s: s\in S\}\) be a family of nonexpansive mappings \(T_s:M\cup\{p\}\rightarrow M\cup\{p\},\) such that \(T_s\circ T_t=T_{ts}\), \(t,s\in S.\) Under additional conditions the authors show that ...

Measurement invariance of the moral vitalism scale across 28 cultural groups.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Moral vitalism refers to a tendency to view good and evil as actual forces that can influence people and events. The Moral Vitalism Scale had been designed to assess moral vitalism in a brief survey form.
