Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Harrison, Michael – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2019
Utilizing the perspective of finite mixture modeling, this note considers whether a finding of a plausible one-parameter logistic model could be spurious for a population with substantial unobserved heterogeneity. A theoretically and empirically important setting is discussed involving the mixture of two latent classes, with the less restrictive…

Raykov, Tenko; Dimitrov, Dimiter M.; von Eye, Alexander; Marcoulides, George A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
A latent variable modeling method for evaluation of interrater agreement is outlined. The procedure is useful for point and interval estimation of the degree of agreement among a given set of judges evaluating a group of targets. In addition, the approach allows one to test for identity in underlying thresholds across raters as well as to identify…

Raykov, Tenko; Patelis, Thanos; Marcoulides, George A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2011
A latent variable modeling approach that can be used to examine whether several psychometric tests are parallel is discussed. The method consists of sequentially testing the properties of parallel measures via a corresponding relaxation of parameter constraints in a saturated model or an appropriately constructed latent variable model. The…

Traynor, Anne; Raykov, Tenko – Comparative Education Review, 2013
In international achievement studies, questionnaires typically ask about the presence of particular household assets in students' homes. Responses to the assets questions are used to compute a total score, which is intended to represent household wealth in models of test performance. This study uses item analysis and confirmatory factor analysis…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
Relevant aspects of the example provided by Raykov and Marcoulides (2001) are emphasized, specifically the distinctiveness of infinitely many members of its sequence of equivalent structural equation models. This emphasis appears to be needed in light of recent statements by Markus (2002), whose intended counterexamples do not present a…

Raykov, Tenko; Mels, Gerhard – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
A readily implemented procedure is discussed for interval estimation of indexes of interrelationship between items from multiple-component measuring instruments as well as between items and total composite scores. The method is applicable with categorical (ordinal) observed variables, and can be widely used in the process of scale construction,…

Raykov, Tenko; Amemiya, Yasuo – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
A structural equation modeling method for examining time-invariance of variable specificity in longitudinal studies with multiple measures is outlined, which is developed within a confirmatory factor-analytic framework. The approach represents a likelihood ratio test for the hypothesis of stability in the specificity part of the residual term…

Raykov, Tenko; Brennan, Mark; Reinhardt, Joann P.; Horowitz, Amy – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
A correlation structure modeling method for comparison of mediated effects is outlined. The procedure permits point and interval estimation of differences in mediator effects, and is useful with models postulating 1 or more predictor, intervening, or response variables that may also be latent constructs. The approach allows scale-free evaluation…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – International Journal of Testing, 2006
A structural equation modeling approach to scale reliability evaluation can be employed to estimate generalizability theory indexes in settings where sampling of subjects and conditions is carried out. In one- and two-facet crossed designs, it is demonstrated how this method can be used to obtain estimates of relative generalizability…

Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
A widely and readily applicable covariance structure modeling approach is outlined that allows point and interval estimation of scale reliability with fixed components. The procedure employs only linear constraints introduced in a congeneric model, which after reparameterization permit expression of composite reliability as a function of…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
In applications of structural equation modeling, it is often desirable to obtain measures of uncertainty for special functions of model parameters. This article provides a didactic discussion of how a method widely used in applied statistics can be employed for approximate standard error and confidence interval evaluation of such functions. The…

Raykov, Tenko – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
A bias-corrected estimator of noncentrality parameters of covariance structure models is discussed. The approach represents an application of the bootstrap methodology for purposes of bias correction, and utilizes the relation between average of resample conventional noncentrality parameter estimates and their sample counterpart. The…
