Evaluating model fit for growth curve models: Integration of fit indices from SEM and MLM frameworks.
Evaluating overall model fit for growth curve models involves 3 challenging issues. (a) Three types of longitudinal data with different implications for model fit may be distinguished: balanced on time with complete data, balanced on time with data missing at random, and unbalanced on time. (b) Traditional work on fit from the structural equation modeling (SEM) perspective has focused only on t...
متن کاملEstimating the Context Effect in a Multilevel Latent Model with Small Sample Sizes: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
In multilevel modeling, the relationships between the criterion and predictors are investigated at different levels. Often, the cluster-level predictors are measured by aggregating the individual-level measures. However, the aggregated clusterlevel predictors do not always reliably measure the cluster-level regression coefficient, and therefore the context coefficient. This study investigates a...
متن کاملSensitivity of Fit Indices to Misspecification in Growth Curve Models.
This study investigated the sensitivity of fit indices to model misspecification in within-individual covariance structure, between-individual covariance structure, and marginal mean structure in growth curve models. Five commonly used fit indices were examined, including the likelihood ratio test statistic, root mean square error of approximation, standardized root mean square residual, compar...
متن کاملMultilevel Monte Carlo Methods
We study Monte Carlo approximations to high dimensional parameter dependent integrals. We survey the multilevel variance reduction technique introduced by the author in [4] and present extensions and new developments of it. The tools needed for the convergence analysis of vector-valued Monte Carlo methods are discussed, as well. Applications to stochastic solution of integral equations are give...
متن کاملA continuation multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm
We propose a novel Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (CMLMC) algorithm for weak approximation of stochastic models that are described in terms of differential equations either driven by random measures or with random coefficients. The CMLMC algorithm solves the given approximation problem for a sequence of decreasing tolerances, ending with the desired one. CMLMC assumes discretization hiera...
