James Peugh: Monte Carlo Simulation Power Analysis Using Mplus and R, Gebunden

Blurb

**Planning effective research investigations requires sophisticated power analysis techniques.**This book provides readers with clearly explained tools for using Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the needed sample sizes for adequate statistical power for a variety of modern research designs. Featuring step-by-step instructions, chapters move from simpler cross-sectional designs and path tracing rules to advanced longitudinal designs, while incorporating mediation, moderation, and missing data considerations. Worked-through applied examples with annotated Mplus and R syntax scripts, sample power analysis write-ups, and end-of-chapter suggested readings are also included. The companion website offers Mplus and R code for four additional power analysis models--latent variable moderation, discrete- and continuous-time survival analyses, cross-sectional and longitudinal two-level models, and moderated mediation--as well as supplemental computational materials.
