Cheung, Mike W. -L. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Confidence intervals (CIs) for parameters are usually constructed based on the estimated standard errors. These are known as Wald CIs. This article argues that likelihood-based CIs (CIs based on likelihood ratio statistics) are often preferred to Wald CIs. It shows how the likelihood-based CIs and the Wald CIs for many statistics and psychometric…

Voelkle, Manuel C.; Wittmann, Werner W.; Ackerman, Phillip L. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2006
The relationship between abilities and skill acquisition has been the subject of numerous controversies in psychology. However, while most researchers implicitly or explicitly accept the idea that abilities and skill acquisition should be related, empirical research has failed to provide evidence for a consistently strong correlation between the…

Bai, Yun; Poon, Wai-Yin; Cheung, Gordon Wai Hung – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
Two-level data sets are frequently encountered in social and behavioral science research. They arise when observations are drawn from a known hierarchical structure, as when individuals are randomly drawn from groups that are randomly drawn from a target population. When the covariance structures in the group level and the individual level are the…
