French, Brian F.; Finch, W. Holmes – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) is a popular method for the examination of measurement invariance and specifically, factor invariance. Recent research has begun to focus on using MCFA to detect invariance for test items. MCFA requires certain parameters (e.g., factor loadings) to be constrained for model identification, which are…
