Abstract:
The thesis focuses on estimation of dynamic structural equation models in which some or all variables might be unobservable (latent) or measured with error. Moreover, we consider the situation where latent variables can be measured with multiple observable indicators and where lagged values of latent variables might be included in the model. This situation leads to a dynamic structural equation model (DSEM), which can be viewed as dynamic generalisation of the structural equation model (SEM). Taking the mismeasurement problem into account aims at reducing or eliminating the errors-in-variables

Abstract:
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is often used to investigate effective connectivity in functional neuroimaging studies. Modeling effective connectivity refers to an approach in which a number of specific brain regions, called regions of interest (ROIs), are selected according to some prior knowledge about the regions, and directional (causal) relationships between them are hypothesized and tested. Existing methods for SEM, however, have serious limitations in terms of their computational capacity and the range of models that can be specified. To alleviate these difficulties, I propose a new

Abstract:
Effective connectivity in functional neuroimaging studies is defined as the time dependent causal influence that a certain brain region of interest (ROI) exerts on another. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is regularly employed to analyze effective connectivity. In recent years, various SEM methods have been proposed to model effective connectivity. However, there has been little attempt to develop SEM methods for analyzing common patterns of effective connectivity across subjects despite the prevalence of multiple-subject research in effective connectivity.

In structural equation models with latent variables, maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is currently the most prevailing estimation method. However, the ML method fails to provide accurate solutions in a number of situations including those involving small sample sizes, nonnormality, and model misspecification. To over come these difficulties, regularized extensions of two-stage least squares estimation are proposed that incorporate a ridge type of regularization in the estimation of parameters.

Fit indices and fit measures commonly used to determine the accuracy and desirability of structural equation models are expected to be insensitive to nonlinearity in the data. This includes measures as ubiquitous as the CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR, AIC, and BIC. Despite this, some software will report these measures when certain models are used. Consequently, some researchers may be led to use these fit measures without realizing the impropriety of the act. Alternative fit measures have been proposed, but these measures require further testing. As part of this thesis, a large simulation study was

Latent variable models (LVMs) are widely used in many scientific fields due to the ubiquitousness and feasibility of latent variables. Conventional LVMs, however, have limitations because they model relationships between covariates and latent variables or among latent variables with a parametric fashion. A more flexible model framework is therefore needed, especially without prior knowledge of sensible parametric forms. This thesis proposes a new non-parametric LVM for the need.

Matrix population models are discrete in both time and state-space, where a matrix with density-dependent entries is used to project a population vector of a stage-structured population from one time to the next. Such models are useful for modeling populations with discrete categorizations (e.g. developmental cycles, communities of multiple species, differing sizes, etc.). We present a general matrix model of two interacting populations where one (the resident) has a stable cycle, and we analyze when the other population (the invader) can successfully invade.

Abstract:
A new approach to structural equation modeling based on so-called extended redundancy analysis (ERA) is proposed. In ERA, latent variables are obtained as exact linear combinations of observed variables, and model parameters are estimated by consistently minimizing a single criterion. As a result, the method can avoid limitations of covariance structure analysis (e.g., stringent distributional assumptions, improper solutions, and factor score indeterminacy) in addition to those of partial least squares (e.g., the lack of a global optimization procedure). The method is simple yet versatile enou

The classical approach to testing for structural change employs retrospective tests using a historical data set of a given length.

Procedures based on estimates of the regression coefficients are extended in three directions: we introduce (a) procedures based on OLS residuals, (b) rescaled statistics and (c) alternative asymptotic boundaries

Abstract:
I modelli ad equazioni strutturali con variabili latenti hanno subito un notevole sviluppo negli ultimi anni. Partendo dai pionieri delle due macro-definizioni di modelli con variabili latenti, Covariance Structure Analysis e Component Analysis, con LISREL e PLS-PM come le tecniche più importanti, diverse estensioni e miglioramenti sono stati proposti. Inoltre, per i modelli di analisi di ridondanza, che fanno parte della Component Analysis, ma hanno solo variabili endogene osservate, sono stati proposti nuovi metodi in letteratura per affrontare più di un gruppo di variabili osservate esogene
