Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Child Version in Chinese Children

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
The primary goal of the present study was to examine the latent factor structure and measurement invariance (MI) of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Child Version (YPI-CV) in a sample of Chinese children.

A geoadditive Bayesian latent variable model for Poisson indicators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We introduce a new latent variable model with count variable indicators, where usual linear parametric effects of covariates, nonparametric effects of continuous covariates and spatial effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a ...

Psychometric Properties and Measurement Invariance of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 Among Chinese Insurance Employees

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties and factorial invariance of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were performed to verify the BSI-18’s factor structure in a large sample of Chinese insurance

A Bayesian semiparametric latent variable model for mixed responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this article we introduce a latent variable model (LVM) for mixed ordinal and continuous responses, where covariate effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a flexible semiparametric predictor. We extend existing LVM with simple

Enhanced sequence labeling based on latent variable conditional random fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Natural language processing is a useful processing technique of language data, such as text and speech. Sequence labeling represents the upstream task of many natural language processing tasks, such as machine translation, text classification, and ...

Assessing Callous-Unemotional Traits in Chinese Detained Boys: Factor Structure and Construct Validity of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) was designed to evaluate multiple facets of Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits in youths. However, no study has examined the factor structure and psychometrical properties of the ICU in Chinese detained ...

Development of a latent dementia index in the aging, demographics, and memory study: Validation and measurement invariance by sex

open access: yesAlzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, 2023
Latent variable models can create a latent dementia index (LDI) using cognitive and functional ability to approximate dementia likelihood. The LDI approach has been applied across diverse cohorts.

Stated consideration and attribute thresholds in mode choice models: a hierarchical ICLV approach

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2021
Consideration of alternatives, as many other aspects related to the decision-making process, is not observable and challenging to measure. Even when supplementary information is collected during stated choice experiments, its use as an additional ...

Factor Structure and Construct Validity of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory and Its Shorten Version in Chinese Detained Boys

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
The Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) was designed to assess psychopathic traits in adolescents. However, there exists limited evidence for the factor structure and psychometric properties of the YPI when used with Chinese detained juveniles. The

Latent class analysis variable selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We propose a method for selecting variables in latent class analysis, which is the most common model-based clustering method for discrete data. The method assesses a variable's usefulness for clustering by comparing two models, given the clustering ...
