Hayes, Timothy – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2019
Multiple imputation is a popular method for addressing data that are presumed to be missing at random. To obtain accurate results, one's imputation model must be congenial to (appropriate for) one's intended analysis model. This article reviews and demonstrates two recent software packages, Blimp and jomo, to multiply impute data in a manner…

Boomsma, Anne – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
This book, which is designed for those already familiar with the basic principles of structural equation modeling (SEM), discusses the progress and unfolding of SEM since the 1990s. After a compact treatment of underlying theory, the author illustrates many such issues with a discussion of his own SEM research. (SLD)

Birckmayer, Johanna D.; Weiss, Carol Hirschon – Evaluation Review, 2000
Examined six published papers using a theory-based evaluation (TBE) approach. Found that authors of the papers did not always make explicit the relation of their data to the theory of the program. Identified some ways in which TBE contributed to the merit of the evaluation. Outlines lessons for the future of TBE. (SLD)

Reise, Steven P.; Duan, Naihua – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2001
Introduces this special issue on multilevel models. The first two articles examine the application of multilevel modeling (MLM) in the evaluation of large-scale multi-site interventions. The next two articles focus on developmental and longitudinal data analysis, and the last two describe innovative applications of MLM. (SLD)

Blot, Richard K. – Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 1998
The heuristic value of Chilcott's essay lies less in its support for structural functionalism and more in its concern to reexamine theory in the work of earlier educational anthropologists for what earlier theories and practices can add to current research. (SLD)

Davis, Alan – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 1997
Discusses R. Herrnstein's and C. Murray's attempt to persuade an educated white readership that they, the readers, are genetically, socially, and intellectually superior. The most effective criticisms are those that rely on scientific evidence about the manipulation of data and flawed analyses rather than the display of moral outrage. (SLD)
