This paper proposes a two-stage maximum likelihood (ML) approach to normal mixture structural equation modeling (SEM), and develops statistical inference that allows distributional misspecification. Saturated means and covariances are estim...
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE ON PREVALENCE AND CUMULATIVE RELATIVE RISK: DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS IN A RECURSIVE HAZARD MODEL [0.03%]
暴露对流行率和累积相对危险度的影响:危害模型中的直接与间接效应

This paper outlines decomposition methods for assessing how exposure affects prevalence and cumulative relative risk. Let x denote a vector of exogenous covariates and suppose that a single dimension of time t governs two event processes T(...
Using Instrumental Variable (IV) Tests to Evaluate Model Specification in Latent Variable Structural Equation Models [0.03%]

Structural Equation Modeling with latent variables (SEM) is a powerful tool for social and behavioral scientists, combining many of the strengths of psychometrics and econometrics into a single framework. The most common estimator for SEM i...

"This paper will investigate the issue of weighting for panel attrition in event-history models by comparing alternative treatments of sampling weights in a divorce model for members of the 1986 [U.S.] Survey of Income and Program Participa...
The neighborhood history calendar: a data collection method designed for dynamic multilevel modeling [0.03%]
社区历史日历:一种用于动态多水平建模的数据收集方法

"The present paper develops a generalization of the standard discrete-time competing hazards model that allows for the types of stochastic dependencies resulting from shared unmeasured risk factors. An empirical example is provided using th...

"This paper aims at providing a practical guidance for coping with social science event-history data that are left-truncated, especially when the length of exposure prior to observation is known. Only the case of single events is treated, a...

"Procedures for decomposing differences between two populations--for example, into the part that is due to differences in age-specific rates and the part that is due to differences in age distributions--have been used to decompose time tren...

"The analysis of age-specific vital rates is studied, and special attention is given to the problem of decomposing an array of rates into factors related to age, period, and cohort.... The paper focuses on the age and period dimensions and ...
