A tutorial for understanding SEM using R: Where do all the numbers come from?

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Structural equation modeling (SEM) is often seen as a complex and difficult method, especially for those who want to understand how the numbers in SEM software output are actually computed. Although many open‐source SEM tools are now available—especially in the R programming environment—looking into their source code to understand the ...

New Hybrid Cascaded Multilevel Inverter

International Journal of Engineering, 2013
A B S T R A C T This paper proposes a single-phase five-level inverter with a modified pulse width- modulated (PWM) control scheme. The modified pulse width-modulation technique is developed to reduce switching losses. Also, the proposed multilevel inverter can reduce the requirement of power switches compared to a conventional cascaded multilevel ...

Reward‐specific learning parameters change across normative adolescent development and are blunted in youth with high risk for depression

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Reward learning is thought to undergo refinement in adolescence, but little is known about how computational components of reinforcement learning develop. Given that adolescence is a sensitive period for reward system plasticity with associated vulnerability for depression, it is important to understand developmental trajectories of ...
