Multimodel Inference
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 261-304 - 2004
Kenneth P. Burnham, David R. Anderson
The model selection literature has been generally poor at reflecting the deep foundations of the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and at making appropriate comparisons to the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). There is a clear philosophy, a sound criterion based in information theory, and a rigorous statistical foundation for AIC. AIC can be justified as Bayesian using a “savvy” prio...... hiện toàn bộ
Normative Power and Conflict Potential
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 237-263 - 1975
Jay Jackson
The return potential model for norms and roles is extended to yield concepts and measures of normative power and conflict potential, conceived to be complementary attributes of all normative systems. An input-output energy model is proposed to represent the normative process, without assuming either equilibrium tendencies or ego's motivation to conform. Organized, disorganized, and unorga...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of a Confounding Variable on a Regression Coefficient
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 147-194 - 2000
Kenneth A. Frank
Regression coefficients cannot be interpreted as causal if the relationship can be attributed to an alternate mechanism. One may control for the alternate cause through an experiment (e.g., with random assignment to treatment and control) or by measuring a corresponding confounding variable and including it in the model. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances under which it is not po...... hiện toàn bộ
Testing for Lagged, Cotemporal, and Total Dependence in Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 187-217 - 1987
Lawrence S. Mayer, Steven S. Carroll
Panel studies are statistical studies in which two or more variables are observed for two or more subjects at two or more points in time. Cross-lagged panel studies are those studies in which the variables are continuous and divide naturally into two sets. Focus is on estimating and testing the effects, or impacts, of each set of variables on the other. In the regression approach the cros...... hiện toàn bộ
Snowball Sampling: Problems and Techniques of Chain Referral Sampling
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 141-163 - 1981
Patrick Biernacki, Dan Waldorf
In spite of the fact that chain referral sampling has been widely used in qualitative sociological research, especially in the study of deviant behavior, the problems and techniques involved in its use have not been adequately explained. The procedures of chain referral sampling are not self-evident or obvious. This article attempts to rectify this methodological neglect. The article prov...... hiện toàn bộ
Selection Bias in Linear Regression, Logit and Probit Models
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 18 Số 2-3 - Trang 360-390 - 1989
Jeffrey A. Dubin, Douglas Rivers
Missing data are common in observational studies due to self-selection of subjects. Missing data can bias estimates of linear regression and related models. The nature of selection bias and econometric methods for correcting it are described. The econometric approach relies upon a specification of the selection mechanism. We extend this approach to binary logit and probit models and provi...... hiện toàn bộ
A SAS Procedure Based on Mixture Models for Estimating Developmental Trajectories
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 374-393 - 2001
Bobby Jones, Daniel S. Nagin, Kathryn Roeder
This article introduces a new SAS procedure written by the authors that analyzes longitudinal data (developmental trajectories) by fitting a mixture model. The TRAJ procedure fits semiparametric (discrete) mixtures of censored normal, Poisson, zero-inflated Poisson, and Bernoulli distributions to longitudinal data. Applications to psychometric scale data, offense counts, and a dichotomous...... hiện toàn bộ
Organizations and Survey Research
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 240-276 - 2018
Brad R. Fulton
Surveys provide a critical source of data for scholars, yet declining response rates are threatening the quality of data being collected. This threat is particularly acute among organizational studies that use key informants—the mean response rate for published studies is 34 percent. This article describes several response enhancing strategies and explains how they were implemented in a na...... hiện toàn bộ
Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 230-258 - 1992
Michael W. Browne, Robert Cudeck
This article is concerned with measures of fit of a model. Two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered. The first is error of approximation which involves the fit of the model, with optimally chosen but unknown parameter values, to the population covariance matrix. The second is overall error which involves the fit of the model, with parameter values estimated from the s...... hiện toàn bộ
The Performance of RMSEA in Models With Small Degrees of Freedom
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 486-507 - 2015
David A. Kenny, Burcu Kaniskan, D. Betsy McCoach
Given that the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) is currently one of the most popular measures of goodness-of-model fit within structural equation modeling (SEM), it is important to know how well the RMSEA performs in models with small degrees of freedom ( df). Unfortunately, most previous work on the RMSEA and its confidence interval has focused on models with a large df. B...... hiện toàn bộ
