Factorial validity of the center for epidemiologic studies-depression (CES-D) scale in military peacekeepers.
Despite widespread use of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D], there are no investigations that examine its factor structure in a military sample. Separate confirmatory factor analyses were performed on responses to the CES-D obtained from 102 female and 102 male Canadian military peacekeepers in order to compare the fit of a four-factor intercorrelated (lower-order) m...
متن کاملA new approach for differential item functioning detection using Mantel-Haenszel methods. The GMHDIF program.
To date, the statistical software designed for assessing differential item functioning (DIF) with Mantel-Haenszel procedures has employed the following statistics: the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistic, the generalized Mantel-Haenszel test and the Mantel test. These statistics permit detecting DIF in dichotomous and polytomous items, although they limit the analysis to two groups. On the con...
متن کاملValidity of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale in a sample of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans
OBJECTIVES Optimal depression screening necessitates measurement tools that are valid across varied populations and in the presence of comorbidities. METHODS This study assessed the test properties of two versions of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale against psychiatric diagnoses established by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview among a clinical sample of US...
متن کاملltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Theory Analyses
The R package ltm has been developed for the analysis of multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data using latent variable models, under the Item Response Theory approach. For dichotomous data the Rasch, the Two-Parameter Logistic, and Birnbaum’s Three-Parameter models have been implemented, whereas for polytomous data Semejima’s Graded Response model is available. Parameter estimates are obta...
متن کاملMantel-Haenszel test statistics for correlated binary data.
This paper proposes two new Mantel-Haenszel test statistics for correlated binary data in 2 x 2 tables that are asymptotically valid in both sparse data (many strata) and large-strata limiting models. Monte Carlo experiments show that the statistics compare favorably to previously proposed test statistics, especially for 5-25 small to moderate-sized strata. Confidence intervals are also obtaine...
