Model Fit in Structural Equation Models with Censored, Ordinal, and Dichotomous Variables: Testing Vanishing Tetrads
Although the methodology for handling ordinal and dichotomous observed variables in structural equation models (SEMs) is developing rapidly, several important issues are unresolved. One of these is the optimal test statistic to apply as a test of overall model fit. We propose a new ‘‘vanishing tetrad’’ test statistic for such models. We build on Bollen’s (1990) simultaneous test statistic for t...
متن کاملCensored Variables and Censored Regression
A censored variable has a large fraction of observations at the minimum or maximum. Because the censored variable is not observed over its entire range ordinary estimates of the mean and variance of a censored variable will be biased. Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of its regression on a set of explanatory variables will also be biased. These estimates are not consistent, i.e., the bias...
متن کامل1 Using a Counting Process Method to Impute 2 Censored Follow - up Time Data 3
Censoring occurs when complete follow-up time information is unavailable for patients 9 enrolled in a clinical study. The process is considered to be informative (nonignorable) if the 10 likelihood function for the censoring model cannot be partitioned into a set of response parameters 11 that are independent of the censoring parameters. In such cases, estimated survival time 12 probabilities m...

Mud volcanoes are taken into consideration by geologists and oil industry experts have given their association with oil and gas reserves and methane greenhouse gas production in hydrosphere and atmosphere. Gomishan mud volcano phenomenon in the southeastern edge of the Caspian Sea, given its oil and gas resources, has been studied by some geologists in terms of geology and tectonics but not in ...
متن کاملBlindness in Randomized Controlled Trials
In combination with randomization, blinding or masking is an important factor in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), particularly in trials that assess therapeutic effects. Here an attempt is made to explain blindness and why it is important. In clinical trials, blinding is defined as the condition imposed on a study in which study participants, health care providers and assessors collecting o...
