Analyzing Panel Data in Studies of Aging : Applications of the LISREL Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LISREL model, recently developed by Joreskog and his colleagues, is of great importance to students of aging and human development. Essentially, LISREL unites factor analysis and structural equation modeling. It is extremely general, permitting a wide variety of nonrecursive structural equation models while also permitting complex models involving measurement error. Thus, LISREL speaks to the psychometric concerns of those who measure the same variable over time and to the modeling concerns of those who wish to allow for lagged effects, feedback loops, and the like. This paper describes the LISREL model in nontechnical terms, points the reader to the more technical literature, and provides an extended example of a three-wave, two-variable model, with and without additional exogenous and endogenous variables. The example shows how causal effects can be estimated and how these estimates are affected by assumptions regarding measurement error. ----------------------------------------------------------~Analyzing Panel Data in Studies of Aging: Applications of the LISREL Model

Bayesian paradigm for analysing count data in longitudina studies using Poisson-generalized log-gamma model
In analyzing longitudinal data with counted responses, normal distribution is usually used for distribution of the random efffects. However, in some applications random effects may not be normally distributed. Misspecification of this distribution may cause reduction of efficiency of estimators. In this paper, a generalized log-gamma distribution is used for the random effects which includes th...
متن کاملAnalyzing Categorical Panel Data by Means of Causal Log-linear Models with Latent Variables: An Application to the Change in Youth-Centrism
This paper presents a general approach to the analysis of categorical panel data which is based on using causal log-linear models with latent variables. Like the well-known LISREL model, these models consist of a structural and a measurement part. In the structural part, a system of logit equations is used to explain changes which occur in the dependent variable of interest. An unrestricted or ...
