Bayesian Discriminant Validity/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Discriminant Validity

Bayesian discriminant validity assessment evaluates whether two theoretically distinct latent constructs are empirically separable, using posterior distributions and credible intervals rather than single-point null-hypothesis tests. It is applied within Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis or via the Bayesian heterotrait-monotrait ratio (HTMTb) to determine whether constructs measuring different traits are sufficiently differentiated.
