Gaussian Process Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In a variety of disciplines such as social sciences, psychology, medicine and economics, the recorded data are considered to be noisy measurements of latent variables connected by some causal structure.

Data-driven modelling of biological multi-scale processes

open access: yes, 2015
Biological processes involve a variety of spatial and temporal scales. A holistic understanding of many biological processes therefore requires multi-scale models which capture the relevant properties on all these scales.

Fiducial theory and optimal inference

open access: yes, 2013
It is shown that the fiducial distribution in a group model, or more generally a quasigroup model, determines the optimal equivariant frequentist inference procedures.

A Systematic Evaluation and Comparison Between Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling and Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling

open access: yesStructural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
In this study, we contrast two competing approaches, not previously compared, that balance the rigor of CFA/SEM with the flexibility to fit realistically complex data.

Comparison of Frequentist and Bayesian Regularization in Structural Equation Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesStructural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Research in regularization, as applied to structural equation modeling (SEM), remains in its infancy. Specifically, very little work has compared regularization approaches across both frequentist and Bayesian estimation. The purpose of this study was to address just that, demonstrating both similarity and distinction across estimation frameworks, while

Bayesian Updating, Model Class Selection and Robust Stochastic Predictions of Structural Response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A fundamental issue when predicting structural response by using mathematical models is how to treat both modeling and excitation uncertainty. A general framework for this is presented which uses probability as a multi-valued conditional logic for ...

Mediating effect of cognitive appraisal and coping on anticipatory grief in family caregivers of patients with cancer: a Bayesian structural equation model study

open access: yesBMC Nursing
Background Anticipatory grief is common among family caregivers of cancer patients and may be related to caregiver burden, family resilience, psychological capital, cognitive appraisal, and coping strategies.

The importance of isomorphism for conclusions about homology: A Bayesian multilevel structural equation modeling approach with ordinal indicators

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
We describe a Monte Carlo study examining the impact of assuming item isomorphism (i.e., equivalent construct meaning across levels of analysis) on conclusions about homology (i.e., equivalent structural relations across levels of analysis) under varying

The new keynesian approach to dynamic general equilibrium modeling: models, methods, and macroeconomic policy evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This chapter aims to provide a hands-on approach to New Keynesian models and their uses for macroeconomic policy analysis. It starts by reviewing the origins of the New Keynesian approach, the key model ingredients and representative models.

Behavioral drivers of waste cooking oil recycling in China’s catering industry: An economic perspective

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges
Under the global sustainable development goals, biodiesel plays a crucial role in the energy transition; however, its growth is constrained by a limited availability of raw materials.
