Measurement Invariance: Testing for It and Explaining Why It is Absent

open access: yesSurvey Research Methods, 2020
There has been a significant increase in cross-national and longitudinal data production in social science research in recent decades. Before drawing substantive conclusions based on cross-national and longitudinal survey data, researchers need to ...

Measurement invariance of the strength of motivation for medical school: a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis

open access: yesBMC Medical Education, 2017
Background The Strength of Motivation for Medical School-Revised (SMMS-R) questionnaire measures students’ motivation for studying medicine. It includes three subscales: ‘willingness to sacrifice’, ‘readiness to start’, and ‘persistence’.

Control of Ferromagnetism of Vanadium Oxide Thin Films by Oxidation States

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The nonstoichiometric VOx exhibits a distinct ferromagnetic hysteresis loop and demonstrates a high magnetic susceptibility (χ=dMdH$ = \frac{{dM}}{{dH}}\;$∼10). Micromagnetic simulations show the results of the “partial volume fraction ferromagnetic phase model” for VOx/Co/Pt structure.

Transverse invariant measures extends to the ambient space [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
It is shown that any transverse invariant measure of a foliated space can be considered as a measure on the ambient space.

Measurement Invariance and Response Bias: A Stochastic Frontier Approach [PDF]

open access: yes
The goals of the present paper were to assess measurement invariance using a common econometric method and to illustrate the approach with self-reported measures of parenting behaviors before and after a family intervention.

Self‐organized Criticality in Neuromorphic Nanowire Networks With Tunable and Local Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Memristive nanowire networks (NWNs) are shown to be electrically tunable to a critical state where specific local dynamics evaluated by multiterminal characterization are exploited as feature selection in nonlinear transformation (NLT) tasks.

Swap-invariant and exchangeable random measures [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
In this work we analyze the concept of swap-invariance, which is a weaker variant of exchangeability. A random vector $\xi$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called swap-invariant if $\,{\mathbf E}\,\big| \!\sum_j u_j \xi_j \big|\,$ is invariant under all permutations of $(\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_n)$ for each $u \in \mathbb{R}^n$.

Generalized Measurement Invariance Tests with Application to Factor Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The issue of measurement invariance commonly arises in factor-analytic contexts, with methods for assessment including likelihood ratio tests, Lagrange multiplier tests, and Wald tests.
