Measurement Invariance, Entropy, and Probability

open access: yesEntropy, 2010
We show that the natural scaling of measurement for a particular problem defines the most likely probability distribution of observations taken from that measurement scale.

Assessing measurement invariance of the SEGUE framework among Chinese and Ghanaian patients: A cross-sectional study

open access: yesPEC Innovation, 2023
Objective: Measurement invariance assesses the psychometric equivalence of a construct across groups or across time. This study aimed to find out whether the newly modified 5-point Likert scale SEGUE Framework for evaluating doctor's communication skills

Measuring citizenship competences: Assessment of measurement invariance

open access: yesJournal of Social Science Education, 2023
Highlights: • Standardised questionnaires are used to measure the outcomes of citizenship education. • A prerequisite for cross-group comparisons based on these questionnaires is an assessment of measurement invariance.

Examining the Measurement Invariance of TIMSS 2015 Mathematics Liking Scale through Different Methods

open access: yesInternational Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
Studies aiming to make cross-cultural comparisons first should establish measurement invariance in the groups to be compared because results obtained from such comparisons may be artificial in the event that measurement invariance cannot be established ...

Measurement invariance and adapted preferences: evidence for the ICECAP-A and WeRFree instruments

open access: yesHealth and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2023
Background Self-report instruments are used to evaluate the effect of interventions. However, individuals adapt to adversity. This could result in individuals reporting higher levels of well-being than one would expect.

Quantum Invariant Measures [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 2001
We derive an explicit expression for the Haar integral on the quantized algebra of regular functions C_q[K] on the compact real form K of an arbitrary simply connected complex simple algebraic group G. This is done in terms of the irreducible *-representations of the Hopf *-algebra C_q[K]. Quantum analogs of the measures on the symplectic leaves of the

Why Full, Partial, or Approximate Measurement Invariance Are Not a Prerequisite for Meaningful and Valid Group Comparisons

open access: yesStructural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
It is frequently stated in the literature that measurement invariance is a prerequisite for the comparison of group means or standard deviations of the latent variable in factor models. This article argues that measurement invariance is not necessary for

The dire disregard of measurement invariance testing in psychological science.

open access: yesPsychological methods, 2023
Self-report scales are widely used in psychology to compare means in latent constructs across groups, experimental conditions, or time points. However, for these comparisons to be meaningful and unbiased, the scales must demonstrate measurement ...

Correction for measurement error in invariance testing: An illustration using SQP

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
With the increasing availability of cross-national data, more attention has been given to the issue of comparability. But while a lot of emphasis has been directed to the assessment of measurement invariance, there has been substantially less concern on ...

Measurement Invariance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multi-item surveys are frequently used to study scores on latent factors, like human values, attitudes and behavior. Such studies often include a comparison, between specific groups of individuals, either at one or multiple points in time. If such latent factor means are to be meaningfully compared, the measurement structures including the latent ...
