Facing off with Choosing between Scylla and Charybdis: A comparison of scalar, partial, and the novel possibility of approximate measurement invariance

Facing off with Choosing between Scylla and Charybdis: A comparison of scalar, partial, and the novel possibility of approximate measurement invariance

Measurement invariance (MI) is a prerequisite for comparing latent variable scores across groups. The current paper introduces the concept of approximate measurement invariance building on the work of Muthén and Asparouhov and their application of Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSE...
