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 ...

Asymptotic standard errors for reliability coefficients in item response theory

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent review, Liu et al. (Psychological Methods, 2025b) classified reliability coefficients into two types: classical test theory (CTT) reliability and proportional reduction in mean squared error (PRMSE). This article focuses on quantifying the sampling variability of these coefficients under item response theory (IRT) models.

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

Calibrating Bayesian inference

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...

Sensitivity analysis for unmeasured pretreatment confounders in causal mediation analysis with debiased machine learning

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounders is essential for assessing the robustness of causal mediation conclusions. Most existing methods rely on parametric assumptions, which are ill‐suited for machine learning‐based estimators that are not tied to specific parametric models.
