Measurement Invariance, Predictive Invariance, and the Duality Paradox.
Millsap, Roger E.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v30 n4 p577-605 1995
A theorem is presented that describes conditions under which measurement invariance is consistent with predictive invariance for the linear case. These two forms of invariance are shown to be inconsistent under realistic conditions, and the duality is illustrated with simulated data. Implications for group differences research are discussed.
