DOI: 10.1037/met0000483
Abstract: Multimethod measurement designs with planned missing data (MMM-PMD) aim at combining cheap proxy methods (e.g., self-reports) with an expensive gold standard method (e.g., biomarker) in order to improve the cost-efficiency of research designs. This article… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0224455
Abstract: Background Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterised by two underlying factors. Factor 1 (affective and interpersonal deficits) captures affective deficits, whilst Factor 2 (antisocial and impulsive/disorganised behaviours) captures life course persistent antisocial behaviours. Impaired processing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3102/10769986221128810
Abstract: Although many textbooks on multivariate statistics discuss the common factor analysis model, few of these books mention the problem of factor score indeterminacy (FSI). Thus, many students and contemporary researchers are unaware of an important… read more here.

Association of higher plasma leptin levels with HOMA-IR index, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and glycolipid metabolism in patients with chronic schizophrenia: A multi-center cross-sectional study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Psychiatry"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.992988
Abstract: Background Previous research has revealed that plasma leptin levels were closely related to glycolipid metabolism in schizophrenic patients. Insulin resistance (IR) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were involved in glucolipid metabolism disorders. This study… read more here.
