Tong-Rong Yang; Li-Jen Weng – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
In Savalei's (2011) simulation that evaluated the performance of polychoric correlation estimates in small samples, two methods for treating zero-frequency cells, adding 0.5 (ADD) and doing nothing (NONE), were compared. Savalei tentatively suggested using ADD for binary data and NONE for data with three or more categories. Yet, Savalei's…

Christine E. DeMars; Paulius Satkus – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Marginal maximum likelihood, a common estimation method for item response theory models, is not inherently a Bayesian procedure. However, due to estimation difficulties, Bayesian priors are often applied to the likelihood when estimating 3PL models, especially with small samples. Little focus has been placed on choosing the priors for marginal…

Vinay Kumar Yadav; Shakti Prasad – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
In sample survey analysis, accurate population mean estimation is an important task, but traditional approaches frequently ignore the intricacies of real-world data, leading to biassed results. In order to handle uncertainties, indeterminacies, and ambiguity, this work presents an innovative approach based on neutrosophic statistics. We proposed…

Kosei Fukuda – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
In statistics classes, the central limit theorem has been demonstrated using simulation-based illustrations. Known population distributions such as a uniform or exponential distribution are often used to consider the behavior of the sample mean in simulated samples. Unlike such simulations, a number of real-data-based simulations are here…

Julia-Kim Walther; Martin Hecht; Benjamin Nagengast; Steffen Zitzmann – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
A two-level data set can be structured in either long format (LF) or wide format (WF), and both have corresponding SEM approaches for estimating multilevel models. Intuitively, one might expect these approaches to perform similarly. However, the two data formats yield data matrices with different numbers of columns and rows, and their "cols :…

Lisa J. Elliott; Joan Middendorf – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Teaching and learning undergraduate statistics has been a most challenging task for undergraduate psychology majors (Salkind, 2017). A seasoned statistics instructor consulted with a seasoned instructional designer on a method to improve a particularly demanding course using a performance improvement approach to address learning difficulties she…
