Suyoung Kim; Sooyong Lee; Jiwon Kim; Tiffany A. Whittaker – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study aims to address a gap in the social and behavioral sciences literature concerning interaction effects between latent factors in multiple-group analysis. By comparing two approaches for estimating latent interactions within multiple-group analysis frameworks using simulation studies and empirical data, we assess their relative merits.…

Breen, Richard; Bernt Karlson, Kristian; Holm, Anders – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
The Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) method has rapidly become popular as a way of separating the impact of confounding from rescaling when comparing conditional and unconditional parameter estimates in nonlinear probability models such as the logit and probit. In this note, we show that the same estimates can be obtained in a somewhat different way to…

Kilic, Abdullah Faruk; Dogan, Nuri – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
Weighted least squares (WLS), weighted least squares mean-and-variance-adjusted (WLSMV), unweighted least squares mean-and-variance-adjusted (ULSMV), maximum likelihood (ML), robust maximum likelihood (MLR) and Bayesian estimation methods were compared in mixed item response type data via Monte Carlo simulation. The percentage of polytomous items,…

Sachse, Karoline A.; Haag, Nicole – Applied Measurement in Education, 2017
Standard errors computed according to the operational practices of international large-scale assessment studies such as the Programme for International Student Assessment's (PISA) or the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) may be biased when cross-national differential item functioning (DIF) and item parameter drift are…

Finch, W. Holmes; Shim, Sungok Serena – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Collection and analysis of longitudinal data is an important tool in understanding growth and development over time in a whole range of human endeavors. Ideally, researchers working in the longitudinal framework are able to collect data at more than two points in time, as this will provide them with the potential for a deeper understanding of the…

Hsiao, Yu-Yu; Kwok, Oi-Man; Lai, Mark H. C. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Path models with observed composites based on multiple items (e.g., mean or sum score of the items) are commonly used to test interaction effects. Under this practice, researchers generally assume that the observed composites are measured without errors. In this study, we reviewed and evaluated two alternative methods within the structural…

Finch, Holmes – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2017
Multilevel models (MLMs) have proven themselves to be very useful in social science research, as data from a variety of sources is sampled such that individuals at level-1 are nested within clusters such as schools, hospitals, counseling centers, and business entities at level-2. MLMs using restricted maximum likelihood estimation (REML) provide…

McCoach, D. Betsy; Rifenbark, Graham G.; Newton, Sarah D.; Li, Xiaoran; Kooken, Janice; Yomtov, Dani; Gambino, Anthony J.; Bellara, Aarti – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2018
This study compared five common multilevel software packages via Monte Carlo simulation: HLM 7, M"plus" 7.4, R (lme4 V1.1-12), Stata 14.1, and SAS 9.4 to determine how the programs differ in estimation accuracy and speed, as well as convergence, when modeling multiple randomly varying slopes of different magnitudes. Simulated data…

Koziol, Natalie A.; Bovaird, James A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Evaluations of measurement invariance provide essential construct validity evidence--a prerequisite for seeking meaning in psychological and educational research and ensuring fair testing procedures in high-stakes settings. However, the quality of such evidence is partly dependent on the validity of the resulting statistical conclusions. Type I or…

Dogan, C. Deha – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2017
Background: Most of the studies in academic journals use p values to represent statistical significance. However, this is not a good indicator of practical significance. Although confidence intervals provide information about the precision of point estimation, they are, unfortunately, rarely used. The infrequent use of confidence intervals might…

McCaffrey, Daniel F.; Castellano, Katherine E.; Lockwood, J. R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2015
Student growth percentiles (SGPs) express students' current observed scores as percentile ranks in the distribution of scores among students with the same prior-year scores. A common concern about SGPs at the student level, and mean or median SGPs (MGPs) at the aggregate level, is potential bias due to test measurement error (ME). Shang,…

Zakszeski, Brittany N.; Hojnoski, Robin L.; Wood, Brenna K. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2017
Classroom engagement is important to young children's academic and social development. Accurate methods of capturing this behavior are needed to inform and evaluate intervention efforts. This study compared the accuracy of interval durations (i.e., 5 s, 10 s, 15 s, 20 s, 30 s, and 60 s) of momentary time sampling (MTS) in approximating the…

Monroe, Scott; Cai, Li; Choi, Kilchan – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2014
This research concerns a new proposal for calculating student growth percentiles (SGP, Betebenner, 2009). In Betebenner (2009), quantile regression (QR) is used to estimate the SGPs. However, measurement error in the score estimates, which always exists in practice, leads to bias in the QR-based estimates (Shang, 2012). One way to address this…

Can, Seda; van de Schoot, Rens; Hox, Joop – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
Because variables may be correlated in the social and behavioral sciences, multicollinearity might be problematic. This study investigates the effect of collinearity manipulated in within and between levels of a two-level confirmatory factor analysis by Monte Carlo simulation. Furthermore, the influence of the size of the intraclass correlation…

Patton, Jeffrey M.; Cheng, Ying; Yuan, Ke-Hai; Diao, Qi – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2014
When item parameter estimates are used to estimate the ability parameter in item response models, the standard error (SE) of the ability estimate must be corrected to reflect the error carried over from item calibration. For maximum likelihood (ML) ability estimates, a corrected asymptotic SE is available, but it requires a long test and the…
