Kim, Seohyun; Lu, Zhenqiu; Cohen, Allan S. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2018
Bayesian algorithms have been used successfully in the social and behavioral sciences to analyze dichotomous data particularly with complex structural equation models. In this study, we investigate the use of the Polya-Gamma data augmentation method with Gibbs sampling to improve estimation of structural equation models with dichotomous variables.…
