ABSTRACT

Methods for handling measurement error in regression analysis range from assuming that measures are perfectly reliable to explicitly modeling measurement error through the use of multiple indicators. In two simulation studies, we examined the effectiveness of several strategies for incorporating measurement error in regression. First, we compared four strategies: (1) multiple indicator structural equation modeling, (2) a composite indicator structural equation (...
