Kentaro Hayashi; Ke-Hai Yuan; Peter M. Bentler – Grantee Submission, 2025
Most existing studies on the relationship between factor analysis (FA) and principal component analysis (PCA) focus on approximating the common factors by the first few components via the closeness between their loadings. Based on a setup in Bentler and de Leeuw (Psychometrika 76:461-470, 2011), this study examines the relationship between FA…

Judith Glaesser – Field Methods, 2025
In qualitative comparative analysis, as with all methods, there is a question about how many cases are needed to make an analysis robust. In deciding on the number of cases, a key consideration is the number of conditions to be analyzed. I suggest that adding cases is preferable to dropping conditions if there are too many conditions relative to…

Martyna Daria Swiatczak; Michael Baumgartner – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which data imbalances, a common data characteristic that occurs when factor values are unevenly distributed, are problematic for the performance of Coincidence Analysis (CNA). We further examine how such imbalances relate to fragmentation and noise in data. We show that even extreme data…

Louise Lynch; Mary McCarron; Philip McCallion; Eilish Burke – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Background: The positive impact of physical activity on health is widely known. A comparison between activPAL objective measures and International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) self-reported activity levels was completed with older adults with intellectual disability. Understanding differences between the two methodologies…

Yongseok Lee; Walter L. Leite; Audrey J. Leroux – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
In the current study, we compare propensity score (PS) matching methods for data with a cross-classified structure, where each individual is clustered within more than one group, but the groups are not hierarchically organized. Through a Monte Carlo simulation study, we compared sequential cluster matching (SCM), preferential within cluster…

Landan Zhang; Sylwia Bujkiewicz; Dan Jackson – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Simulated treatment comparison (STC) is an established method for performing population adjustment for the indirect comparison of two treatments, where individual patient data (IPD) are available for one trial but only aggregate level information is available for the other. The most commonly used method is what we call 'standard STC'. Here we fit…

Liu Liu; Hamish Coates – Higher Education Quarterly, 2024
This study explores development of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) as it aspires to become a leading international education hub, set against the backdrop of established hubs in Malaysia, Qatar and the San Francisco Bay Area. Through a comparative analysis grounded in an adapted George Keller framework, the research investigates the internal and…

Stephan B. Bruns; Teshome K. Deressa; T. D. Stanley; Chris Doucouliagos; John P. A. Ioannidis – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Using a sample of 70,399 published p-values from 192 meta-analyses, we empirically estimate the counterfactual distribution of p-values in the absence of any biases. Comparing observed p-values with counterfactually expected p-values allows us to estimate how many p-values are published as being statistically significant when they should have been…

Manjula Wijewickrema – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2024
This research compares the performance measures reported by two bibliographic databases relevant to a set of authors who have published in predatory journals. The reliability of decision-making based on the information provided by uncontrolled bibliographic databases is examined to support rational decisions. A sample of authors who published in…

Christoph Niessen – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
In the wake of the methodological developments that aim to render qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) "time sensitive", I propose a new procedure for carrying out QCA longitudinally. More specifically, I show first why longitudinal case disaggregation should be carried out with change-based intervals (CBIs) rather than with fixed…

Leala Holcomb; Wyatte C. Hall; Stephanie J. Gardiner-Walsh; Jessica Scott – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
This study critically examines the biases and methodological shortcomings in studies comparing deaf and hearing populations, demonstrating their implications for both the reliability and ethics of research in deaf education. Upon reviewing the 20 most-cited deaf-hearing comparison studies, we identified recurring fallacies such as the presumption…

Suraiya Hameed; Bob Lingard – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2025
This paper focuses on a comparative analysis of two schools -- an international school in Singapore and an independent school in Australia -- and their engagement with and processes of internationalization with a focus on Global Citizenship Education (GCE). These schools have adopted international education models, the International Primary…

Markus Gangl – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Rating scales are ubiquitous in the social sciences, yet may present practical difficulties when response formats change over time or vary across surveys. To allow researchers to pool rating data across alternative question formats, the article provides a generalization of the ordered logit model that accommodates multiple scale formats in the…

Sohee Kim; Ki Lynn Cole – International Journal of Testing, 2025
This study conducted a comprehensive comparison of Item Response Theory (IRT) linking methods applied to a bifactor model, examining their performance on both multiple choice (MC) and mixed format tests within the common item nonequivalent group design framework. Four distinct multidimensional IRT linking approaches were explored, consisting of…
