Guidelines for measurement invariance and aligment methods using library(rd3c3)

Preface

library(rd3c3) is A wrapper function library designed to fit model-based invariance models and alignment methods to assess cross cultural comparability of responses between countries and groups, on international large-scale assessments.

It helps researchers to write Mplus code, via MplusAutomation to implement invariance analysis.

It uses graded response models with a probit link (i.e., confirmatory factor analysis with ordinal indicators).
