Measurement bias detection through Bayesian factor analysis
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Measurement bias has been defined as a violation of measurement invariance. Potential violators - variables that possibly violate measurement invariance - can be investigated through restricted factor analysis (RFA).

Algebraic Bayesian analysis of contingency tables with possibly zero-probability cells
, 2007 In this paper we consider a Bayesian analysis of contingency tables allowing for the possibility that cells may have probability zero. In this sense we depart from standard log-linear modeling that implicitly assumes a positivity constraint. Our approach
