Detecting multidimensionality: which residual data-type works best?
نویسنده
چکیده
Factor analysis is a powerful technique for investigating multidimensionality in observational data, but it fails to construct interval measures. Rasch analysis constructs interval measures, but only indirectly flags the presence of multidimensional structures. Simulation studies indicate that, for responses to complete tests, construction of Rasch measures from the observational data, followed by principal components factor analysis of Rasch residuals, provides an effective means of identifying multidimensionality. The most diagnostically useful residual form was found to be the standardized residual. The multidimensional structure of the Functional Independence Measure (FIMSM) is confirmed by means of Rasch analysis followed by factor analysis of standardized residuals.

The multidimensionality of self-report schizotypy in a psychiatric population: an analysis using multidimensional Rasch models.
There is increasing empirical evidence from factor analytical studies that schizotypy is composed of three dimensions. All studies into the multidimensionality of schizotypy used common factor analysis of scales, either exploratory or confirmatory. We argue that for research into the multidimensionality of schizotypy with dichotomous item responses on questionnaires (as with the Schizotypal Per...
متن کاملIncreased Fall Detection Accuracy in an Accelerometer-based Algorithm Considering Residual Movement
Every year over 11 million falls are registered. Falls play a critical role in the deterioration of the health of the elderly and the subsequent need of care. This paper presents a fall detection system running on a smartwatch (F2D). Data from the accelerometer is collected, passing through an adaptive threshold-based algorithm which detects patterns corresponding to a fall. A decision module t...
متن کاملLow flow frequency analysis by L-moments method (Case study: Iranian Central Plateau River Basin)
Knowledge about low flow statistics is essential for effective water resource planning and management in ungauged orpoorly gauged catchment areas, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran. We employed a data set of 20 riverflow time-series from the Iranian Central Plateau River Basin, Iran to evaluate the low-flow series using several frequencyanalysis methods and compared the resu...
