Posterior predictive model checks (PPMC) are one Bayesian model-data fit approach. Thus far, PPMC for Confirmatory Factor Analytic applications focused primaril
This simulation study compared the utility of various discrepancy measures within a posterior predictive model checking (PPMC) framework for detecting different
This study investigated the violation of local independence assumptions within unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models. IRT models assume that for a gi
Model fit indices within the framework of structural equation models are crucial in evaluating and selecting the most appropriate model to fit data. The perform
Abstract: Missing data are problematic for many statistical analyses, factor analysis included. Because factor analysis is widely used by applied social scienti
