Sensitivity of Fit Measures to Misspecification in ordinal Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis

• In Event: Bayesian Techniques

Abstract

This study investigates the sensitivity of various fit measures in ordinal BCFA, including posterior predictive p-value, BIC, DIC, WIC, and LOO, to the misspecification of dimensionality and cross-loadings. The findings shed light on how each fit measure behaves under different prior specifications and ordinal distributions.
