題名: | A Penalized Likelihood Method for Multi-Group Structural Equation Modeling | 作者: | 黃柏僩 Huang, Po-Hsien |

Recently, Huang, Chen and Weng (2017, Psychometrika, 82, 329) and Jacobucci, Grimm, and McArdle (2016, Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 23, 555) both proposed sparse estimation methods for structural equation modelling (SEM). These methods, however, are restricted to performing single-group analysis. The aim of the present work is to establish a penalized likelihood (PL) method for multi-group SEM. Our proposed method decomposes each group model parameter into a common reference component and a group-specific increment component. By penalizing the increment components, the heterogeneity of parameter values across the population can be explored since the null group-specific effects are expected to diminish. We developed an expectation-conditional maximization algorithm to optimize the PL criteria. A numerical experiment and a real data example are presented to demonstrate the potential utility of the proposed method. | 關聯: | British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Vol.71, pp.499-522 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1111/bmsp.12130 |
