Measurement bias detection through Bayesian factor analysis
Measurement bias has been defined as a violation of measurement invariance. Potential violators-variables that possibly violate measurement invariance-can be investigated through restricted factor analysis (RFA). The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a Bayesian approach to estimate RFA models with interaction effects, in order to detect uniform and nonuniform measurement bias. Beca...
متن کاملDetection of Unknown Confounders by Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Artificial data with known covariance structure was used to directly test confounding hypothesis using Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis with small variance informative priors. The priors were derived from two extreme scenarios of no versus maximum confounding via exposure variables. Large (N=5000) and small (N=100) sample analyses were performed for both continuous and binary variable mode...
متن کاملIs probabilistic bias analysis approximately Bayesian?
Case-control studies are particularly susceptible to differential exposure misclassification when exposure status is determined following incident case status. Probabilistic bias analysis methods have been developed as ways to adjust standard effect estimates based on the sensitivity and specificity of exposure misclassification. The iterative sampling method advocated in probabilistic bias ana...
متن کاملBayesian Group Factor Analysis
We introduce a factor analysis model that summarizes the dependencies between observed variable groups, instead of dependencies between individual variables as standard factor analysis does. A group may correspond to one view of the same set of objects, one of many data sets tied by co-occurrence, or a set of alternative variables collected from statistics tables to measure one property of inte...
متن کاملBayesian Exploratory Factor Analysis.
This paper develops and applies a Bayesian approach to Exploratory Factor Analysis that improves on ad hoc classical approaches. Our framework relies on dedicated factor models and simultaneously determines the number of factors, the allocation of each measurement to a unique factor, and the corresponding factor loadings. Classical identification criteria are applied and integrated into our Bay...
