Multiple indicators, multiple causes measurement error models.
Multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC) models are often employed by researchers studying the effects of an unobservable latent variable on a set of outcomes, when causes of the latent variable are observed. There are times, however, when the causes of the latent variable are not observed because measurements of the causal variable are contaminated by measurement error. The objectives of t...
متن کاملInvestigating Gender and Major DIF in the Iranian National University Entrance Exam Using Multiple-Indicators Multiple-Causes Structural Equation Modelling
The generalizability aspect of Construct validity, as proposed by Messick (1989), requires that a test measures the same trait across different samples from the same population. Differential Item functioning (DIF) analysis is a key component in the fairness evaluation of educational tests. University entrance exam for the candidates who seek admission into master's English programs (MEUEE) at I...
متن کاملA multiple indicators and multiple causes model for valuation
Value assessment (valuation) of certain real properties is commonly required for a variety of purposes. In this article an approach to define an estimator of the value of a real property, with good statistical properties is proposed. This estimator reaches a consensus between the various available methods. The estimator proposed uses all available information optimally, including the informatio...
متن کاملMultiple-Criteria Approach to Optimisation of Multidimensional Data Models
This paper presents a novel approach to the adaptation ofmultidimensional data models to user-specific needs. The multidimensional data models used in contemporary business-intelligence systems are inherently complex. In order to reduce the complexity of these models, we propose using a qualitative multiple-criteria decision modelling method that is based on using a hierarchical tree of the cri...
متن کاملMeasuring Patterns of Self-Disclosure in Intercultural Friendship: Adjusting Differential Item Functioning Using Multiple-Indicators, Multiple-Causes Models
This study examined how friendship types, levels of friendship, and cultural backgrounds affected breadth of self-disclosure (BSD). BSD was measured with six self-disclosure topic items—in which higher scores indicated greater willingness to engage in conversations about various topics—from three groups with varying experiences with intercultural friendships. Confirmatory factor analysis was us...
