Approximation of the invariant measure of stable SDEs by an Euler–Maruyama scheme

open access: yesStochastic 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 ...

The consequences of ignoring measurement invariance for path coefficients in structural equation models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We report a Monte Carlo study examining the effects of two strategies for handling measurement non-invariance – modeling and ignoring non-invariant items – on structural regression coefficients between latent variables measured with item response theory ...

Can We Compare Solidarity Across Europe? What, Why, When, and How to Assess Exact and Approximate Equivalence of First- and Second-Order Factor Models

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Cross-cultural invariance of the Spanish version of the COVID-19 Assessment Scorecard to measure the perception of government actions against COVID-19 in Latin America

open access: yesPsicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, 2023
Objectives The present study aimed to evaluate the measurement invariance of a general measure of the perception of governmental responses to COVID-|19 (COVID-SCORE-10) in the general population of 13 Latin American countries.

Measurement invariance in the assessment of people with an intellectual disability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Intellectual assessment is central to the process of diagnosing an intellectual disability and the assessment process needs to be valid and reliable. One fundamental aspect of validity is that of measurement invariance, i.e.
