Comparing probit coefs with mediating... |

Message/Author |

We have a recursive pathmodel (all observed) with a dichotomous dependent variable, the IV's are continuous or dummycoded and we have one ordinal mediating variable. Using the WLSMV-estimator, we estimate the model for two groups, obtaining total, direct and indirect effects in the form of probit coefficients. A reviewer requested formal tests/comparisons of the size and significance of those coeficients between the two groups. Are there suggested procedures I can look into that are applicable in this situation? Are general procedures for comparing logit/probit coefs (e.g. Allison, 1999) applicable? |

In the 2-group run you can define the indirect effects using Model Constraint and test equalities using Model Test. |

I have a recursive path model (all observed) with a dichotomous dependent variable, the IV's are continuous or dummy coded, and the mediating variable is dichotomous. I use the WLSMV estimator and I obtain the total, direct, and indirect effects. I also obtain the standardized effects for the model. I am aware that the standardized effects are not valid for binary variables in the WLSMV estimator. Is there any way I can compare the effect sizes across the continuous and binary variables, including the binary mediating variable? |

I don't know of any way to compare effect sizes across continuous and binary variables. |
