Please help RMME #mastersdegree #student, Mackenzie Garrison, complete her project for our #online EPSY5621: Construction of #Evaluation #Instruments #course! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

To evaluate the robustness of these methods, we conducted a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study for all the models.

#TODAY: "#Bayesian #Longitudinal (Non)Linear #Mediation Models" with Dr. Nidhi Kohli!​ rmme.education.uconn.edu​ #UConn #Online #Research #Methods #Measurement #Evaluation​ #Statistics #Stats #Data #Friday

Furthermore, we extend this framework to develop Bayesian (nonlinear) growth mixture mediation models (B(N)GMMM), which assess heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) of the intervention variable X on the longitudinal dependent variable Y, mediated by longitudinal variable M.

We also examine the impact of omitting confounders in (non)linear mediation models using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K).

We propose two models: a linear trend model (L-BREMM) and a segmented trend model using linear-linear piecewise functions with random changepoints (P-BREMM).

This study develops Bayesian (non)linear random effects mediation models (B(N)REMM) to directly estimate both linear and nonlinear longitudinal mediation effects, overcoming limitations in existing structural equation modeling (SEM) approaches.
