Can Unequal Variances across Groups Mask Differences in Residual Means in the Common Factor Model?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lubke, Gitta H.; Dolan, Connor V. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Simulation results show that the power to detect small mean differences when fitting a model with free residual variances across groups decreases as the difference in R squared increases. This decrease is more pronounced in the presence of correlated errors and if group sample sizes differ. (SLD)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Meade, Adam W.; Lautenschlager, Gary J. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
In recent years, confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) techniques have become the most common method of testing for measurement equivalence/invariance (ME/I). However, no study has simulated data with known differences to determine how well these CFA techniques perform. This study utilizes data with a variety of known simulated differences in factor…
