Other equivalence tests possible:
1. Equivalence of variances of latent variables
H0: PSI-1[1] = PSI-1[2]
• This test will depend upon which ref. indicator used
2. Equivalence of error variances *
H0: Theta-eps[1] = Theta-eps[2] {entire matrix}
df=3 *and covariances if there are correlated errors
From last Friday 5
Multiple Group Models
Measurement model equivalence does not imply same mean levelsMeasurement model for Group 1 can be
identical to Group 2, yet the two groups can differ radically in terms of level.
Example: Group 1 Group 2 Load mean Load
mean Always trust gov’t .80 2.3 .78 3.9 Govern. Corrupt -.75 3.8 -.80 2.3 Politicians don’t
care (where 1=agree strongly through 10=disagree
strongly)

• It is possible to have multiple group models with both common and unique items
• Example:
• Y1 Both countries: We should always trust our elected leaders
• Y2 Both countries: If my government told me to go to war, I’d go
• Y3 Both countries: We need more respect for government & authority
•Y4 (US): George Bush commands my respect because he is our President•Y4 (Canada) Paul Martin commands my respect because he is our Prime Minister
We might expect (if measurement equivalence holds):
lambda1[1] = lambda1[2]
lambda2[1] = lambda2[2]
BUT
lambda3[1] ≠ lambda3[2]
From last Friday 7
Multiple Group Models
• Should be careful with the use of reference indicators (and/or sensitive to the fact that apparently non-equivalent models might appear to be so simply because of a single (reference) indicator
• Example:
Group 1 Group 2
Lambda-1 1.0* 1.0*
Lambda-2 .50 1.0
Lambda-3 .75 1.5
Lambda-4 1.0 2.0
• These two groups appear to have measurement models that are very different, but….

13
MULTIPLE GROUP MODELS: parameter significance tests
When a parameter is constrained to equality across 2 (or more) groups, “pooled” significance test (more power)
Possible to have a coefficient non-signif. in each of 2 groups yet significant when equality constraint imposed
Possible to have a coefficient that is not significant in each of two groups (e.g., +ve coefficient, NS, in one group, -ve, NS, in another) yet the difference between the groups is statistically significant
14
Tests in 3+ groups
2-group model can be extended to m groups (in theory, infinite number as long as minimum sample size requirements met in each group; in practice, some software packages have limits)
Models: Group1=Group2=Group3 Group1=Group2≠Group3 Group1 ≠ Group2≠Group3
Must be careful about interpretation of Modification Indices In a model with [1]=[2]=[3] ≠ 0, then a MI will provide an indication of
how much the model improve if the parameter constraint is removed in the mth group only (e.g., MI in group 2 would test against a model in which the group 1 & group 3 {same} parameter are constrained to equality but the group 2 is allowed to differ)

When do we have measurement equivalence STRONG equivalence:
all matrices identical, all groups (might possibly exclude variance of LV’s from this …
i.e., the PHI or PSI matrices) WEAKER equivalence (usually accepted)
Lambda matices identical, all groups Theta matrices could be different (and probably are),
either having the same form or not WEAKER YET:
Lambda matrices have the same form, some identical coefficients
17
Measurement coefficients, construct equation coefficients in multiple group models We usually need the measurement
equation coefficients to be equivalent in order to proceed with comparison of construct equation coefficients
18
Measurement coefficients, construct equation coefficients in multiple group models
We usually need the measurement equation coefficients to be equivalent in order to proceed with comparison of construct equation coefficients
For this reason, tests for measurement equivalence are usually not as rigorous as the “substantive” tests for construct equation coefficient equivalence (though instances of poor fit should be noted in any report of results)

LISREL PROGRAMMING FOR MULTIPLE GROUP MODELS
Basics:“Stack” the groups (one program after the next)In DA statement of first group, specify total number of groups: e.g.,
DA NG=2 NI=23 NO=1246NI specification (# of input var’s) applies onlyto group 1NO specification (# of observations) applies only to group 1
20
LISREL PROGRAMMING FOR MULTIPLE GROUP MODELS
DA NG=2 …Specify group 1 model as usualTitle for Group 2DA statement group 2 NI= NO=CM FI= [location of group 2 cov mtx]SE1 3 4 6 8 / LABELS [optional]MO NY= NX= NK= NE= + special options for matrix
specificationOU (as usual)
21
LISREL PROGRAMMING: MULTIPLE GROUPS
MO specification:LY=PS same pattern as prev. group
- for example, if group 1 specifies 2 LV’s with first three indicators on LV1, next 6 on LV2, this same specification will be copied to group 2
LY= IN invariant- same pattern and all free coefficients in this
matrix constrained to equality with corresponding coefficients in previous group
22
LISREL PROGRAMMING: MULTIPLE GROUPS
Adding equality constraints to a matrix that is otherwise allowed to differ from the same matrix in a previous group:Group 1 (e.g.) LY=FU,FI
VA 1.0 LY 2 1 FR LY 2 1 LY 3 1 LY 4 1
Group 2 LY=PS EQ LY 1 2 1 LY 2 2 1 EQ LY 1 3 1 LY 3 1
23
LISREL PROGRAMMING: MULTIPLE GROUPS
Releasing equality constraints on a single parameter when matrix is otherwise specified as Invariant:
Group 2:LY=INFR LY 4 1 LY remains invariant
except for parameter LY(4,1)
