Green, Samuel B.; Thompson, Marilyn S.; Poirer, Jennifer – Structural Equation Modeling, 2001
Presented and evaluated an adjusted Bonferroni method for controlling familywise rate when deleting parameters in specification addition searches. Simulation results show that the adjusted Bonferroni method controlled adequately for Type I errors in the initial addition stage of a two-stage search and with backward selection. (SLD)

Fan, Xitao – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Presents results of a simulation study in which the power of latent growth modeling (LGM) for detecting group differences in the growth trajectory parameters was assessed. Six major findings about LGM power are outlined. (SLD)

Millsap, Roger E. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2001
Different sets of uniqueness constraints may lead to different fit results when applied to the same data in confirmatory factor analysis. Provides several examples of this phenomenon in simulated data and describes reasons for the variation in fit results. Discusses the choice of uniqueness constraints under these circumstances. (SLD)

Kumar, Ajith; Sharma, Subhash – Structural Equation Modeling, 1999
Demonstrates the advantages of Rao's Distance (C. Rao, 1949) over the root mean residual square for model comparisons using an analysis of a sample of multitrait-multimethod data. A simulation study shows that the true orderings of intermodel proximities are received with a fair degree of accuracy. (Author/SLD)

Kaplan, David; Ferguson, Aaron J. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1999
Examines the use of sample weights in latent variable models in the case where a simple random sample is drawn from a population containing a mixture of strata through a bootstrap simulation study. Results show that ignoring weights can lead to serious bias in latent variable model parameters and reveal the advantages of using sample weights. (SLD)

Hamaker, Ellen L.; Dolan, Conor V.; Molenaar, Peter C. M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Demonstrated, through simulation, that stationary autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models may be fitted readily when T>N, using normal theory raw maximum likelihood structural equation modeling. Also provides some illustrations based on real data. (SLD)

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Boyd, Jeremy – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Illustrates how commonly available structural equation modeling programs can be used to conduct some basic matrix manipulations and generate multivariate normal data with given means and positive definite covariance matrix. Demonstrates the outlined procedure. (SLD)

Bunting, Brendan P.; Adamson, Gary; Mulhall, Peter K. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Studied planned incomplete data designs for the purpose of substantially reducing the amount of data required for multitrait-multimethod models. Simulations studied the effectiveness of Listwise Deletion, Pairwise Deletion, and the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. Results indicate that EM is generally precise and efficient. (SLD)

Cheung, Gordon W.; Rensvold, Roger B. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Examined 20 goodness-of-fit indexes based on the minimum fit function using a simulation under the 2-group situation. Results support the use of the delta comparative fit index, delta Gamma hat, and delta McDonald's Noncentrality Index to evaluation measurement invariance. These three approaches are independent of model complexity and sample size.…

Julian, Marc W. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2001
Examined the effects of ignoring multilevel data structures in nonhierarchical covariance modeling using a Monte Carlo simulation. Results suggest that when the magnitudes of intraclass correlations are less than 0.05 and the group size is small, the consequences of ignoring the data dependence within the multilevel data structures seem to be…

Paxton, Pamela; Curran, Patrick J.; Bollen, Kenneth A.; Kirby, Jim; Chen, Feinian – Structural Equation Modeling, 2001
Illustrates the design and planning of Monte Carlo simulations, presenting nine steps in planning and performing a Monte Carlo analysis from developing a theoretically derived question of interest through summarizing the results. Uses a Monte Carlo simulation to illustrate many of the relevant points. (SLD)

Wen, Zhonglin; Marsh, Herbert W.; Hau, Kit-Tai – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Points out two concerns with recent research by F. Li and others (2000) and T. Duncan and others (1999) that extended the structural equation model of latent interactions developed by K. Joreskog and F. Yang (1996) to latent growth modeling. Used mathematical derivation and a comparison of alternative models fitted to simulated data to develop a…

Lubke, Gitta H.; Dolan, Connor V. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Simulation results show that the power to detect small mean differences when fitting a model with free residual variances across groups decreases as the difference in R squared increases. This decrease is more pronounced in the presence of correlated errors and if group sample sizes differ. (SLD)

Hamaker, Ellen L.; Dolan, Conor V.; Molenaar, Peter C. M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Reexamined the nature of structural equation modeling (SEM) estimates of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models, replicated the simulation experiments of P. Molenaar, and examined the behavior of the log-likelihood ratio test. Simulation studies indicate that estimates of ARMA parameters observed with SEM software are identical to those…

Stapleton, Laura M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2002
Studied the use of different weighting techniques in structural equation modeling and found, through simulation, that the use of an effective sample size weight provides unbiased estimates of key parameters and their sampling variances. Also discusses use of a popular normalization technique of scaling weights. (SLD)
