Sarah Depaoli; Sonja D. Winter; Haiyan Liu – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
We extended current knowledge by examining the performance of several Bayesian model fit and comparison indices through a simulation study using the confirmatory factor analysis. Our goal was to determine whether commonly implemented Bayesian indices can detect specification errors. Specifically, we wanted to uncover any differences in detecting…

Haiyan Liu; Wen Qu; Zhiyong Zhang; Hao Wu – Grantee Submission, 2022
Bayesian inference for structural equation models (SEMs) is increasingly popular in social and psychological sciences owing to its flexibility to adapt to more complex models and the ability to include prior information if available. However, there are two major hurdles in using the traditional Bayesian SEM in practice: (1) the information nested…

Haiyan Liu; Sarah Depaoli; Lydia Marvin – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The deviance information criterion (DIC) is widely used to select the parsimonious, well-fitting model. We examined how priors impact model complexity (pD) and the DIC for Bayesian CFA. Study 1 compared the empirical distributions of pD and DIC under multivariate (i.e., inverse Wishart) and separation strategy (SS) priors. The former treats the…
