Algorithms for Measurement Invariance Testing
Cole, Veronica / Lacey, Conor H. Latent variable models are a powerful tool for measuring many of the phenomena in which developmental psychologists are often interested. If these phenomena are not measured equally well among all participants, this would result in biased inferences about how they unfold throughout development. In the absence of such biases, measurement invariance is achieved, if this bias is present, differential item functioning (DIF) would occur. This Eleme...
