Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Tong, Bing – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
A latent variable modeling procedure is discussed that can be used to test if two or more homogeneous multicomponent instruments with distinct components are measuring the same underlying construct. The method is widely applicable in scale construction and development research and can also be of special interest in construct validation studies.…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2014
This research note contributes to the discussion of methods that can be used to identify useful auxiliary variables for analyses of incomplete data sets. A latent variable approach is discussed, which is helpful in finding auxiliary variables with the property that if included in subsequent maximum likelihood analyses they may enhance considerably…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
A latent variable modeling approach for examining population similarities and differences in observed variable relationship and mean indexes in incomplete data sets is discussed. The method is based on the full information maximum likelihood procedure of model fitting and parameter estimation. The procedure can be employed to test group identities…
