題名 A Penalized Likelihood Method for Multi-Group Structural Equation Modeling 作者 黃柏僩

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 dc.contributor 心理系 dc.creator (作者) 黃柏僩 dc.creator (作者) Huang, Po-Hsien dc.date (日期) 2018-03 dc.date.accessioned 10-Aug-2021 16:43:36 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 10-Aug-2021 16:43:36 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 10-Aug-2021 16:43:36 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/136770 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) In the past two decades, statistical modelling with sparsity has become an active research topic in the fields of statistics and machine learning.
