Morphology and Chemical Characterization of the Metathoracic Scent Gland in Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) is an invasive pentatomid species causing considerable economic losses in agricultural systems. Despite the ecological importance of the metathoracic scent gland (MTG) in chemical defence and communication, detailed information on its morphology and secretion composition remains limited. In the present study, the

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...

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

British 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
