CFA of Ordinal Data via Adaptive Quad... |

I have four questions concerning the use of adaptive quadrature (AQ) to conduct confirmatory factor analysis of ordered categorical data via Mplus 7. 1. When using AQ to estimate CFA models with ordered categorical data, which specific link functions are available in Mplus 7? For example, does Mplus 7 offer probit, logit, log-log, and complimentary log-log link functions? 2. What options are available to handle missing data, when using AQ to conduct CFA with ordered categorical data via Mplus 7? Does Mplus 7 offer full-information estimation with missing data? 3. Is it possible to estimate multigroup CFA models when using AQ to analyze ordered categorical data via Mplus 7? 4. When using AQ to conduct CFA with ordered categorical survey data, can Mplus 7 implement weights? Specifically, can Mplus 7 implement both case-wise and design-wise weights when running AQ analyses? |

1. Probit and logit 2. Yes, FIML (that is, MAR) as well as NMAR (see my 2011 Psych Methods paper). 3. Yes, via type=mixture with knownclass. 4. Yes, both. See also the paper on our website: Muthén & Asparouhov (2013). Item response modeling in Mplus: A multi-dimensional, multi-level, and multi-timepoint example. |
