چکیده

A variety of plots are available in Mplus 7.2 that can be used to visually evaluate the fit of the model. We can inspect the fit on a more detailed level where individual observations are plotted. Such level of detail usually can not be obtained when standard SEM fit statistics are used such as chi-square statistics and CFI/TLI indices. These standard SEM fit statistics are usually based on a global model fit, i.e., a fit for the entire population as a whole rather than fit for individual observations. In this paper we provide several examples where the plots can be used to quickly discover patterns in the data that are not accounted for in the model.

Variable Speed Wind Turbine DFIG Back to Back Converters Open-Circuit Fault Diagnosis by Using of Combiniation Signal-Based and Model-Based Methodes

Condition monitoring (CM) and Fault Detection (FD) of wind turbine lead to increase in reliability and availability of turbine. IGBT open circuit of wind turbine converter will bring about depletion in output current of converter and as a result, reduction in production of wind turbine power. In this research, back to back converter IGBT open - gate fault for wind turbine based on DFIG is detec...

Bayesian Evaluation of inequality-constrained Hypotheses in SEM Models using Mplus.

Researchers in the behavioural and social sciences often have expectations that can be expressed in the form of inequality constraints among the parameters of a structural equation model resulting in an informative hypothesis. The question they would like an answer to is "Is the Hypothesis Correct" or "Is the hypothesis incorrect?". We demonstrate a Bayesian approach to compare an inequality-co...

Visual Analytics Methods to Guide Diagnostics for Time Series Model Predictions

Visual Analytics methods are used to guide domain experts in the task of model selection through an interactive visual exploration environment with short feedback cycles. Evaluation showed the benefits of this approach. However, experts also expressed the demand for prediction capabilities as being already important during the model selection process. Furthermore, good model candidates might sh...

The application of artificial neural network and multiple linear regression in modeling the volume of residual stand using environmental data and remote sensing

In order to manage the forests and optimal and sustainable utilization of the forest, it seems necessary to know the information on the volume of the residual stand. In this study, a systematic randomized inventory was carried out in 186 circular 10-acre plots in the educational and research forest of Darabkola, Sari, Golestan, Iran and the volume of each plot was obtained. In the next step, th...

The Examination of Residual

SUMMARY Linear and squared residual plots are proposed to assess nonlinearity and heteroscedasticity in regression diagnostics. It is shown that linear residual plots are useful for diagnosing nonlinearity and squared residual plots are powerful for detecting nonconstant variance. A paradigm for the graphical interpretation of residual plots is presented.
