Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yang, Ji Seung; Cai, Li – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2014
The main purpose of this study is to improve estimation efficiency in obtaining maximum marginal likelihood estimates of contextual effects in the framework of nonlinear multilevel latent variable model by adopting the Metropolis-Hastings Robbins-Monro algorithm (MH-RM). Results indicate that the MH-RM algorithm can produce estimates and standard…

Yang, Ji Seung; Cai, Li – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2013
The main purpose of this study is to improve estimation efficiency in obtaining full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimates of contextual effects in the framework of a nonlinear multilevel latent variable model by adopting the Metropolis-Hastings Robbins-Monro algorithm (MH-RM; Cai, 2008, 2010a, 2010b). Results indicate that the MH-RM…
