It addresses two key complexities: the rarity of suicidal events and non-monotone, non-ignorable missingness in both the outcome and the predictor. Because existing methods often fail to accommodate these complexities, leading to biased estimates, a Bayesian selection model is specified. The model integrates a mixed-effects complementary log-log regression for rare events with a missingness model that accounts for non-monotone, non-ignorable missingness in the outcome. A probit mixed-effects model is used for the time-varying predictor, along with a corresponding missingness model for its non-monotone, non-ignorable missingness. Empirical results support the applicability of the specified model to longitudinal studies involving rare events and complex missing-data structures. Furthermore, a simulation study demonstrates parameter recovery and highlights bias in focal parameters when sensitivity parameters in the outcome and missingness models are ignored.</p>","PeriodicalId":54534,"journal":{"name":"Psychometrika","volume":" ","pages":"1-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13353901/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148200993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to this day, there is no reliable method for computing this measure, as existing approaches are either computationally infeasible or insufficiently accurate in identifying the worst split-half. This difficulty arises because the number of candidate splits increases exponentially with the number of items. In this article, we show that computing Revelle's beta is conceptually equivalent to divisive (\"top-down\") hierarchical clustering. This insight allows us to reduce the number of candidate splits to a quadratic problem, making the computation feasible. We specify theoretical conditions under which this approach is guaranteed to recover the worst split-half. To validate the efficiency of our approach, we conduct simulation studies and analyze real-world data.

These missingness behaviors may be related to the subject's latent traits, the difficulty of the item, or even the unobserved item response itself. In order to better understand the underlying test-taking behaviors, a Bayesian hierarchical framework is adopted to jointly model the item response, the item response time, the not-reached, and the omitted behaviors. For missing data, a sequential multinomial model is developed for the not-reached behavior, and a conditional model is proposed for the omitted behavior conditioning on the not-reached behavior. A decomposed logarithm of the pseudo marginal likelihood (LPML) is then developed to assess the fit of the missing data models. It can be further used to quantify the importance of modeling item response and response time jointly versus individually in identifying the missing data mechanism. The empirical performance of the proposed models and the model assessment criterion are examined through extensive simulations.

However, its use has remained limited to item response theory (IRT), and generalizing the approach to discrete latent variable models is not straightforward. We propose two ways to deal with this problem. In an initial simulation, we verify that these approaches can be used to estimate simple discrete latent variable models, such as latent class analysis and the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy and gate model. In these cases, AVI provides accurate parameter estimates, although the computational advantage over marginal maximum likelihood (MML) and standard variational inference (VI) is limited. We then apply the same approach to estimate mixture IRT models. In this case, AVI is computationally faster than MML estimation and standard VI. To demonstrate the practical applicability of our AVI approach, we use it to fit a seven-dimensional mixture IRT model to a narcissism inventory. Whereas quadrature-based methods cannot feasibly estimate models of this dimensionality, the efficient AVI approach even allows for computation of bootstrapped standard errors. We provide our code, along with an easy-to-use tool for fitting these models to new datasets.</p>","PeriodicalId":54534,"journal":{"name":"Psychometrika","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147846142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
