Power priors for latent variable mediation models under small sample sizes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Latent variable models typically require large sample sizes for acceptable efficiency and reliable convergence. Appropriate informative priors are often required for gainfully employing Bayesian analysis with small samples. Power priors are informative priors built on historical data, weighted to account for non‐exchangeability with the ...

Bayesian inference for dynamic Q matrices and attribute trajectories in hidden Markov diagnostic classification models

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hidden Markov diagnostic classification models capture how students' cognitive attributes evolve over time. This paper introduces a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for diagnostic classification models that jointly estimates time‐varying Q matrices, latent attributes, item parameters, attribute class proportions and transition ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

To vary or not to vary: A flexible empirical Bayes factor for testing variance components

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Random effects are the gold standard for capturing structural heterogeneity, such as individual differences or temporal dependence. Yet testing their presence is difficult because variance components are constrained to be non‐negative, creating a boundary problem. This paper introduces a flexible empirical Bayes factor (EBF) for testing random
