Mixture Factor Analysis for Approximating a Nonnormally Distributed Continuous Latent Factor With Continuous and Dichotomous Observed Variables.
Mixture factor analysis is examined as a means of flexibly estimating nonnormally distributed continuous latent factors in the presence of both continuous and dichotomous observed variables. A simulation study compares mixture factor analysis with normal maximum likelihood (ML) latent factor modeling. Different results emerge for continuous versus dichotomous outcomes. For dichotomous outcomes,...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of structural equation models with dichotomous variables.
Structural equation modelling has been used extensively in the behavioural and social sciences for studying interrelationships among manifest and latent variables. Recently, its uses have been well recognized in medical research. This paper introduces a Bayesian approach to analysing general structural equation models with dichotomous variables. In the posterior analysis, the observed dichotomo...
متن کاملMeasurement System Analysis for Binary Inspection: Continuous Versus Dichotomous Measurands
We review methods for assessing the reliability of binary measurements, such as accept/reject inspection in industry. Our framework introduces two factors that are highly relevant in deciding which method to use: (1) whether a reference value (gold standard) can be obtained and (2) whether the underlying measurand is continuous or truly dichotomous. Artificially dichotomizing a continuous measu...
متن کاملContinuous Random Variables
Math 394 1 (Almost bullet-proof) Definition of Expectation Assume we have a sample space Ω, with a σ−algebra of subsets F , and a probability P , satisfying our axioms. Define a random variable as a a function X : Ω → R, such that all subsets of Ω of the form {ω |a < X(ω) ≤ b}, for any real a ≤ b are events (belong to F). Assume at first that the range of X is bounded, say it is contained in th...
متن کاملLet Continuous Outcome Variables Remain Continuous
The complementary log-log is an alternative to logistic model. In many areas of research, the outcome data are continuous. We aim to provide a procedure that allows the researcher to estimate the coefficients of the complementary log-log model without dichotomizing and without loss of information. We show that the sample size required for a specific power of the proposed approach is substantial...
