Sensitivity of Goodness of Fit Indexes to Lack of Measurement Invariance
Two Monte Carlo studies were conducted to examine the sensitivity of goodness of fit indexes to lack of measurement invariance at 3 commonly tested levels: factor loadings, inte...
Coding Algorithms for Defining Comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 Administrative Data
These newly developed ICD-10 and ICD-9-CM comorbidity coding algorithms produce similar estimates of comorbidity prevalence in administrative data, and may outperform existing I...
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number...
How Much Should We Trust Differences-In-Differences Estimates?
Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors...
Deciding on the Number of Classes in Latent Class Analysis and Growth Mixture Modeling: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Abstract Mixture modeling is a widely applied data analysis technique used to identify unobserved heterogeneity in a population. Despite mixture models' usefulness in practice, ...
Feature selection based on mutual information criteria of max-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy
Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. We study how to select good features according to the maximal statistical dependency criterion base...
Symbolic Interactionism: Perspective and Method.
This is a collection of articles dealing with the point of view of symbolic interactionism and with the topic of methodology in the discipline of sociology. It is written by the...
Cross-Validatory Choice and Assessment of Statistical Predictions
Summary A generalized form of the cross-validation criterion is applied to the choice and assessment of prediction using the data-analytic concept of a prescription. The example...
