AUTHOR=Wang Selena TITLE=Recent Integrations of Latent Variable Network Modeling With Psychometric Models JOURNAL=Frontiers in Psychology VOLUME=Volume 12 - 2021 YEAR=2021 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.773289 DOI=10.3389/fpsyg.2021.773289 ISSN=1664-1078 ABSTRACT=The combination of network modeling and psychometric models has opened up exciting directions of research. However, there has been confusion surrounding network models, graphic models, latent variable models and their applications in psychology. In this paper, we attempt to remedy this gap by providing a comprehensive introduction of latent variable network models and their recent integration with psychometric models to both psychometricians and applied psychologists. Following this introduction, we summarize developments under network psychometrics and show how graphical models under this framework can be distinguished from other network models. Every model is introduced using united notations, and integrative models are discussed from both network and psychometric perspectives. All methods are accompanied by available open-source R packages inducive to further independent learning.
