Direct linkPituch, Keenan A.; Stapleton, Laura M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2008
A Monte Carlo study compared the statistical performance of standard and robust multilevel mediation analysis methods to test indirect effects for a cluster randomized experimental design under various departures from normality. The performance of these methods was examined for an upper-level mediation process, where the indirect effect is a fixed…

Overall, John E.; Tonidandel, Scott – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2010
A previous Monte Carlo study examined the relative powers of several simple and more complex procedures for testing the significance of difference in mean rates of change in a controlled, longitudinal, treatment evaluation study. Results revealed that the relative powers depended on the correlation structure of the simulated repeated measurements.…

Peer reviewedSkrondal, Anders – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2000
Discusses the design and analysis of Monte Carlo experiments, with special reference to structural equation modeling. Outlines three fundamental challenges of Monte Carlo approaches and suggests some alternative procedures that challenge conventional wisdom. Asserts that comprehensive Monte Carlo studies can be done with a personal computer if the…

Pituch, Keenan A.; Whittaker, Tiffany A.; Stapleton, Laura M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2005
A Monte Carlo study extended the research of MacKinnon, Lockwood, Hoffman, West, and Sheets (2002) for single-level designs by examining the statistical performance of four methods to test for mediation in a multilevel experimental design. The design studied was a two-group experiment that was replicated across several sites, included a single…

A Comparison of Single Sample and Bootstrap Methods to Assess Mediation in Cluster Randomized Trials
Pituch, Keenan A.; Stapleton, Laura M.; Kang, Joo Youn – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2006
A Monte Carlo study examined the statistical performance of single sample and bootstrap methods that can be used to test and form confidence interval estimates of indirect effects in two cluster randomized experimental designs. The designs were similar in that they featured random assignment of clusters to one of two treatment conditions and…

Peer reviewedBandalos, Deborah L. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1993
A Monte Carlo study investigated the use of four cross-validation indices with confirmatory factor analysis models. Influences of sample size, loading size, and degree of model misspecification were studied. Larger sample sizes and better specified models result in better cross-validation results. (SLD)
