Phillip K. Wood – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
The logistic and confined exponential curves are frequently used in studies of growth and learning. These models, which are nonlinear in their parameters, can be estimated using structural equation modeling software. This paper proposes a single combined model, a weighted combination of both models. Mplus, Proc Calis, and lavaan code for the model…

Raykov, Tenko; DiStefano, Christine; Calvocoressi, Lisa; Volker, Martin – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
A class of effect size indices are discussed that evaluate the degree to which two nested confirmatory factor analysis models differ from each other in terms of fit to a set of observed variables. These descriptive effect measures can be used to quantify the impact of parameter restrictions imposed in an initially considered model and are free…

An Analysis of Differential Bundle Functioning in Multidimensional Tests Using the SIBTEST Procedure
Özdogan, Didem; Kelecioglu, Hülya – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
This study aims to analyze the differential bundle functioning in multidimensional tests with a specific purpose to detect this effect through differentiating the location of the item with DIF in the test, the correlation between the dimensions, the sample size, and the ratio of reference to focal group size. The first 10 items of the test that is…

Yanping Pei; Adam Sales; Johann Gagnon-Bartsch – Grantee Submission, 2024
Randomized A/B tests within online learning platforms enable us to draw unbiased causal estimators. However, precise estimates of treatment effects can be challenging due to minimal participation, resulting in underpowered A/B tests. Recent advancements indicate that leveraging auxiliary information from detailed logs and employing design-based…

Guler, Gul; Cikrikci, Rahime Nukhet – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the Type I Error findings and power rates of the methods used to determine dimensionality in unidimensional and bidimensional psychological constructs for various conditions (characteristic of the distribution, sample size, length of the test, and interdimensional correlation) and to examine the joint…

McCoach, D. Betsy; Rifenbark, Graham G.; Newton, Sarah D.; Li, Xiaoran; Kooken, Janice; Yomtov, Dani; Gambino, Anthony J.; Bellara, Aarti – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2018
This study compared five common multilevel software packages via Monte Carlo simulation: HLM 7, M"plus" 7.4, R (lme4 V1.1-12), Stata 14.1, and SAS 9.4 to determine how the programs differ in estimation accuracy and speed, as well as convergence, when modeling multiple randomly varying slopes of different magnitudes. Simulated data…

Schoeneberger, Jason A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
The design of research studies utilizing binary multilevel models must necessarily incorporate knowledge of multiple factors, including estimation method, variance component size, or number of predictors, in addition to sample sizes. This Monte Carlo study examined the performance of random effect binary outcome multilevel models under varying…

Finch, Holmes – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2010
The accuracy of item parameter estimates in the multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model context is one that has not been researched in great detail. This study examines the ability of two confirmatory factor analysis models specifically for dichotomous data to properly estimate item parameters using common formulae for converting factor…

Mulekar, Madhuri S.; Siegel, Murray H. – Mathematics Teacher, 2009
If students are to understand inferential statistics successfully, they must have a profound understanding of the nature of the sampling distribution. Specifically, they must comprehend the determination of the expected value and standard error of a sampling distribution as well as the meaning of the central limit theorem. Many students in a high…

Kim, Seock-Ho – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2007
The procedures required to obtain the approximate posterior standard deviations of the parameters in the three commonly used item response models for dichotomous items are described and used to generate values for some common situations. The results were compared with those obtained from maximum likelihood estimation. It is shown that the use of…

Du, Yunfei – 2002
This paper discusses the impact of sampling error on the construction of confidence intervals around effect sizes. Sampling error affects the location and precision of confidence intervals. Meta-analytic resampling demonstrates that confidence intervals can haphazardly bounce around the true population parameter. Special software with graphical…

Rothstein, Hannah R.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
A microcomputer program that computes statistical power for analyses performed by multiple regression/correlation is described. The program features a spreadsheet-like interface, outputting the effect size and value of power corresponding to the input parameters, including predictor variables, sample size, alpha, and error type.

Zimmerman, Donald W. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1987
A program obtained random samples from known populations, some of which violated the homogeneity assumption. Student t tests and Mann-Whitney U Tests were performed on the sample value. Where the t test led to incorrect decisions, the use of Mann-Whitney U test in its place led to poorer results. (JAZ)

Nevitt, Johnathan; Hancock, Gregory R. – 1998
Though common structural equation modeling (SEM) methods are predicated upon the assumption of multivariate normality, applied researchers often find themselves with data clearly violating this assumption and without sufficient sample size to use distribution-free estimation methods. Fortunately, promising alternatives are being integrated into…
