Bayesian estimation of single and multilevel models with latent variable interactions

In this article, we discuss single and multilevel SEM models with latent variable interactions. We describe the Bayesian estimation for these models and show through simulation studies that the Bayesian method outperforms other methods such as the maximum-likelihood method. We show that multilevel moderation models can easily be estimated with the Bayesian method.

This article discusses single and multilevel SEM models with latent variable interactions and demonstrates that the Bayesian estimation outperforms other methods, such as maximum-likelihood method, through simulation studies. Multilevel moderation models can be easily estimated with the Bayesian method.
