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; Lee, Chun-Lung; Marcoulides, George A.; Chang, Chi – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
The relationship between saturated path-analysis models and their fit to data is revisited. It is demonstrated that a saturated model need not fit perfectly or even well a given data set when fit to the raw data is examined, a criterion currently frequently overlooked by researchers utilizing path analysis modeling techniques. The potential of…

Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This article is concerned with the question of whether the missing data mechanism routinely referred to as missing completely at random (MCAR) is statistically examinable via a test for lack of distributional differences between groups with observed and missing data, and related consequences. A discussion is initially provided, from a formal logic…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Boyd, Jeremy – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Illustrates how commonly available structural equation modeling programs can be used to conduct some basic matrix manipulations and generate multivariate normal data with given means and positive definite covariance matrix. Demonstrates the outlined procedure. (SLD)
