A Matrix Lie Group Formulation of Measurement Theory: Symmetries of Classical Measurement Theory

Peer reviewed

Direct link

William R. Nugent – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024

Symmetry considerations are important in science, and Group Theory is a theory of symmetry. Classical Measurement Theory is the most used measurement theory in the social and behavioral sciences. In this article, the author uses Matrix Lie (Lee) group theory to formulate a measurement model. Symmetry is defined and illustrated using symmetries of…

Modeling Data with Measurement Errors but without Predefined Metrics: Fact versus Fallacy

Peer reviewed

Direct link

Ke-Hai Yuan; Zhiyong Zhang – Grantee Submission, 2024

Data in social and behavioral sciences typically contain measurement errors and also do not have predefined metrics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is commonly used to analyze such data. This article discuss issues in latent-variable modeling as compared to regression analysis with composite-scores. Via logical reasoning and analytical results…
