Joemari Olea; Kevin Carl Santos – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Although the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy "and" gate model (G-DINA; de la Torre, 2011) is a general cognitive diagnosis model (CDM), it does not account for the heterogeneity that is rooted from the existing latent groups in the population of examinees. To address this, this study proposes the mixture G-DINA model, a CDM that…

Jihong Zhang; Jonathan Templin; Xinya Liang – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
Recently, Bayesian diagnostic classification modeling has been becoming popular in health psychology, education, and sociology. Typically information criteria are used for model selection when researchers want to choose the best model among alternative models. In Bayesian estimation, posterior predictive checking is a flexible Bayesian model…

Sotoudeh, Ramina; DiMaggio, Paul – Sociological Methods & Research, 2023
Sociologists increasingly face choices among competing algorithms that represent reasonable approaches to the same task, with little guidance in choosing among them. We develop a strategy that uses simulated data to identify the conditions under which different methods perform well and applies what is learned from the simulations to predict which…

Johan Lyrvall; Zsuzsa Bakk; Jennifer Oser; Roberto Di Mari – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
We present a bias-adjusted three-step estimation approach for multilevel latent class models (LC) with covariates. The proposed approach involves (1) fitting a single-level measurement model while ignoring the multilevel structure, (2) assigning units to latent classes, and (3) fitting the multilevel model with the covariates while controlling for…

de Jong, Valentijn M. T.; Campbell, Harlan; Maxwell, Lauren; Jaenisch, Thomas; Gustafson, Paul; Debray, Thomas P. A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
A common problem in the analysis of multiple data sources, including individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA), is the misclassification of binary variables. Misclassification may lead to biased estimators of model parameters, even when the misclassification is entirely random. We aimed to develop statistical methods that facilitate…

Kazuhiro Yamaguchi – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2025
This study proposes a Bayesian method for diagnostic classification models (DCMs) for a partially known Q-matrix setting between exploratory and confirmatory DCMs. This Q-matrix setting is practical and useful because test experts have pre-knowledge of the Q-matrix but cannot readily specify it completely. The proposed method employs priors for…

Matthew J. Madison; Seungwon Chung; Junok Kim; Laine P. Bradshaw – Grantee Submission, 2023
Recent developments have enabled the modeling of longitudinal assessment data in a diagnostic classification model (DCM) framework. These longitudinal DCMs were developed to provide measures of student growth on a discrete scale in the form of attribute mastery transitions, thereby supporting categorical and criterion-referenced interpretations of…

Sijia Huang; Seungwon Chung; Carl F. Falk – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
In this study, we introduced a cross-classified multidimensional nominal response model (CC-MNRM) to account for various response styles (RS) in the presence of cross-classified data. The proposed model allows slopes to vary across items and can explore impacts of observed covariates on latent constructs. We applied a recently developed variant of…

Daniel McNeish; Patrick D. Manapat – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
A recent review found that 11% of published factor models are hierarchical models with second-order factors. However, dedicated recommendations for evaluating hierarchical model fit have yet to emerge. Traditional benchmarks like RMSEA <0.06 or CFI >0.95 are often consulted, but they were never intended to generalize to hierarchical models.…

Weese, James D.; Turner, Ronna C.; Liang, Xinya; Ames, Allison; Crawford, Brandon – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
A study was conducted to implement the use of a standardized effect size and corresponding classification guidelines for polytomous data with the POLYSIBTEST procedure and compare those guidelines with prior recommendations. Two simulation studies were included. The first identifies new unstandardized test heuristics for classifying moderate and…

Tylén, Kristian; Fusaroli, Riccardo; Østergaard, Sara Møller; Smith, Pernille; Arnoldi, Jakob – Cognitive Science, 2023
Capacities for abstract thinking and problem-solving are central to human cognition. Processes of abstraction allow the transfer of experiences and knowledge between contexts helping us make informed decisions in new or changing contexts. While we are often inclined to relate such reasoning capacities to individual minds and brains, they may in…

Cassiday, Kristina R.; Cho, Youngmi; Harring, Jeffrey R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Simulation studies involving mixture models inevitably aggregate parameter estimates and other output across numerous replications. A primary issue that arises in these methodological investigations is label switching. The current study compares several label switching corrections that are commonly used when dealing with mixture models. A growth…

Liang, Xinya; Cao, Chunhua – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
To evaluate multidimensional factor structure, a popular method that combines features of confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis is Bayesian structural equation modeling with small-variance normal priors (BSEM-N). This simulation study evaluated BSEM-N as a variable selection and parameter estimation tool in factor analysis with sparse…

Minjung Kim; Christa Winkler; James Uanhoro; Joshua Peri; John Lochman – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
Cluster memberships associated with the mediation effect are often changed due to the temporal distance between the cause-and-effect variables in longitudinal data. Nevertheless, current practices in multilevel mediation analysis mostly assume a purely hierarchical data structure. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to examine the…
