  2. Topics • Review • Measurement Modeling • Correction for bias induced from measurement errors in predictors • Structural equation modeling • Growth curve modeling • Twin Data Analysis

  3. Review Let’s go back to the path analysis we conducted previously

  4. Stress Depression Hostility Economic and Psychological Determinants of Health Status in Chinese Adults Self Perceived Income Disparity Relative to Others -0.11 0.12 Self Reported General Health Status Past 0.08 -0.04 0.07 0.35 0.26 0.03 -0.03 Household Income -0.03 -0.03 -0.07 0.02 Note: adjusted for age, gender, parents' highest education, spouse's general health status, child's general health status, child's academic performance, rank of school, rank of district, and city yellow links designate U shape relationships, while white links designate linear relationships.

  5. Review The path directly links what we have actually measured Or say: All constructs in the pathway are manifested and measurable variables

  6. What if Some constructs are latent and are assessed by multiple indicators? Or Some constructs are latent and are correlated with other constructs but not subject to direct assessment?

  7. We will need to embed in the pathway the ‘measurement model’ and the ‘structural equations model’.

  8. Measurement Modelwhen there are two indicators

  9. Measurement Modelwhen there are three indicators

  10. Measurement Modelexample 1 1 Hostility1 (x11) e1 1 Hostility (ξ1) Hostility2 (x12) 1 e2 1

  11. X11 = ξ1 + e1 X12 = ξ1 + e2 Measurement Modelexample 1 1 Hostility1 (x11) e1 1 Hostility (ξ1) Hostility2 (x12) 1 e2 1 Assumptions: Var(ξ1) = Phi1 Var(e1)=E1, Var(e2)=E2, Cov (e1, e2) = Cov(ξ1,e1) = Cov(ξ1,e2)=0

  12. X11 = ξ1 + e1 X12 = ξ1 + e2 Measurement Modelexample 1 Cov (x11, x12) = Var(ξ1) + Cov(ξ1, e2) + Cov(ξ1,e1) + Cov(e1,e2) = Var(ξ1) = Phi1 Var(x11) = Var(ξ1) + Var(e1) + 2*Cov(ξ1,e1) = Phi1+E1 Var(x12) = Var(ξ1) + Var(e2) + 2*Cov(ξ1,e2) = Phi1+E2

  13. SAS Statement and Output proc calis data=youth12 cov pall all; lineqs hostility = f1 + d1 , bhostility = f1 + d2; std f1 d1 d2 = p1 p2 p3; run; SAS output for example 1

  14. What can Measurement Modeling Accomplish? To make use of the multiple (=>2) assessments of the predictors or outcomes to estimate the ‘true’ variance of the constructs.

  15. Why do we need to estimate the ‘true’ variance of the latent constructs? • To refine the dependent variables to increase power for hypothesis testing • To refine the independent variables to correct biases induced to estimated parameters due to the measurement errors in independent variables

  16. How Power can be enhanced if the DV can be measured more precisely? With more error With less error

  17. Effects of Random Error in Dependent VariablesA Schematic View Random error compounded in DV reduces power: make it more difficult to detect a relationship and draw a conclusion

  18. Effects of Random Error in Independent VariableA Schematic View Random error compounded in IV cause bias in estimation: It undershoots bivariate correlation, and under- or over estimate relationships in multivariate analysis

  19. Measurement Error in IV and the Induced Bias in Regressionexample 2 βbiased Hostility1 (x11) Cigarette smoking βbiased = Cov(X11, smoking) / Var(X11) d1 1 Hostility1 (x11) e1 1 Hostility (ξ1) β Cigarette smoking Hostility2 (x12) 1 e2 1 βtrue = Cov(ξ1, smoking) / Var(ξ1)

  20. Measurement Error in IVexample 2 Hostility1 (x11) d1 e1 1 Hostility (ξ1) 1 Cigarette smoking 1 Hostility2 (x12) e2 1 * Proc calis statement: ; proc calis data=youth12 cov pall all; lineqs hostility = f1 + d1 , bhostility = f1 + d2 , bymonthcig1 = b1 f1 + d3 ; std f1 d1 d2 d3 = p1 p2 p3 p4; run;

  21. Measurement Error in IVexample 2 Hostility1 (x11) d1 e1 1 Hostility (ξ1) 1 Cigarette smoking 1 Hostility2 (x12) e2 1 Proc calis output and interpretations: Example2.lst

  22. Measurement Error in IVexample 2 Hostility d1 Cigarette smoking βbiased = Cov(hostility, smoking) / Var(hostility) = 0.02 Results without adjustment for measurement error βtrue = Cov(ξ1, smoking) / Var(ξ1) = 0.06 βbiased = Cov(hostility, smoking) / Var(hostility) = 0.02

  23. Revealing The True RelationshipAfter adjusting for measurement error in the independent variables • In bivariate relationship, after adjusting for measurement error in the indepepdent variable, the true relationship should always be larger • In multiple regression where more than one independent variables are measures with random errors, the measurement error adjusted beta could be larger, and could also be smaller

  28. Measurement Error in IVexample 3 Findings by comparing the results with and without adjusting for measurement errors in the independent variables: When more than one IVs are compounded with measurement errors, the results could be biased toward lower or higher estimates !

  29. Measurement Error in IV Third Party software is available for such modeling. Amos, EQS, HLM, LISREL, Mplus, Mx, etc. A Dwyer-Sun SAS Macro can also be used for a special case where one or more of the independent variables were assessed twice

  44. Implied Covariance Matrices For ACE Model • Difference between MZ and DZ covariance ~ Genetic Variance / 2

  45. Simple MX code for twin data analysis • Separate the subject into multiple groups: (e.g. by male dz, male mz, female dz, female mz, and male-female dz) • Fit the covariance matrix in each model, while define some parameters to be the same across the multiple groups. • See the notes area for an example of the MX code.
