Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis: Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
This article examines the adequacy of the "rules of thumb" conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practi...
Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects
From a theory of Hohenberg and Kohn, approximation methods for treating an inhomogeneous system of interacting electrons are developed. These methods are exact for systems of sl...
Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data Via the <i>EM</i> Algorithm
Summary A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone ...
Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests
A general formula ( α ) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from differen...
Structural equation modeling in practice: A review and recommended two-step approach.
In this article, we provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development. We present a comprehe...
AMPLIFICATION AND DIRECT SEQUENCING OF FUNGAL RIBOSOMAL RNA GENES FOR PHYLOGENETICS
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.cubense (Foc), is the causal agent of the disease known as Fusarium wilt in musaceous crops.It is one of the major limiting factors in the world product...
Glove: Global Vectors for Word Representation
Recent methods for learning vector space representations of words have succeeded in capturing fine-grained semantic and syntactic regularities using vector arithmetic, but the o...
Economic Action and Social Structure: The Problem of Embeddedness
How behavior and institutions are affected by social relations is one of the classic questions of social theory. This paper concerns the extent to which economic action is embed...
MrBayes 3.2: Efficient Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference and Model Choice Across a Large Model Space
Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With thi...
Social Capital in the Creation of Human Capital
There are two broad intellectual streams in the description and explanation of social action. One, characteristic of the work of most sociologists, sees the actor as socialized ...
