Ruscio, John; Ruscio, Ayelet Meron; Meron, Mati – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2007
Meehl's taxometric method was developed to distinguish categorical and continuous constructs. However, taxometric output can be difficult to interpret because expected results for realistic data conditions and differing procedural implementations have not been derived analytically or studied through rigorous simulations. By applying bootstrap…
