Bayesian Measurement Invariance

Bayesian measurement invariance testing evaluates whether a scale's factor loadings and item intercepts are equivalent across groups, using a Bayesian framework that allows parameters to deviate from strict equality by a small, probabilistically specified amount rather than imposing an exact constraint.
