Investigating non-invariance of psychological intimate partner violence measures in the demographic and health surveys: roles of survey design and national context in 19 countries [PDF]

BMC Women's Health
Background One third of adult women report lifetime psychological intimate partner violence (IPV). Controlling behavior is a common dimension of psychological IPV; however, evidence is mixed on its cross-national and cross-time measurement invariance ...

Image Alignment Based on Deep Learning to Extract Deep Feature Information from Images [PDF]

Sensors
To overcome the limitations of traditional image alignment methods in capturing deep semantic features, a deep feature information image alignment network (DFA-Net) is proposed. This network aims to enhance image alignment performance through multi-level

Multigroup CFA and Alignment Approaches for Testing Measurement Invariance and Factor Score Estimation: Illustration With the Schoolwork-Related Anxiety Survey Across Countries and Gender

Methodology, 2021
Within large-scale international studies, the utility of survey scores to yield meaningful comparative data hinges on the degree to which their item parameters demonstrate measurement invariance (MI) across compared groups (e.g., culture).

Investigating the Applicability of Alignment—A Monte Carlo Simulation Study

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Traditional multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (multiple-group CFA) is usually criticized for having too restrictive model assumption, namely the scalar measurement invariance.

Identifying Bias in Social and Health Research: Measurement Invariance and Latent Mean Differences Using the Alignment Approach

Mathematics, 2023
When comparison among groups is of major importance, it is necessary to ensure that the measuring tool exhibits measurement invariance. This means that it measures the same construct in the same way for all groups.

Multi-Modal Image Registration Based on Phase Exponent Differences of the Gaussian Pyramid

Remote Sensing, 2023
In multi-modal images (MMI), the differences in their imaging mechanisms lead to large signal-to-noise ratio differences, which means that the matching of geometric invariance and the matching accuracy of the matching algorithms often cannot be balanced.

Monitoring sustainable development goal 5.2: Cross-country cross-time invariance of measures for intimate partner violence

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background The persistence and impacts of violence against women motivated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.2 to end such violence. Global psychometric assessment of cross-country, cross-time invariance of items measuring intimate partner violence ...

Measurement Invariance Testing with Alignment Method: Many Groups Comparison

International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2020
It is necessary to examine the measurement invariance (MI) among groups in studies where different groups are compared by using a measurement instrument.
