Rejoinder to MacCallum, Edwards, and Cai (2012) and Rindskopf (2012): Mastering a New Method
Muthen, Bengt; Asparouhov, Tihomir
Psychological Methods, v17 n3 p346-353 Sep 2012
This rejoinder discusses the general comments on how to use Bayesian structural equation modeling (BSEM) wisely and how to get more people better trained in using Bayesian methods. Responses to specific comments cover how to handle sign switching, nonconvergence and nonidentification, and prior choices in latent variable models. Two new applications are included. The first one revisits the Kaplan (2009) science model by considering priors on primary parameters. The second one applies BSEM to the bifactor model that was hypothesized in the original Holzinger and Swineford (1939) study. (Contains 7 figures and 1 table.)
