Panel-based Model Testing Research
Panel-based model testing research combines the longitudinal power of panel survey designs with the confirmatory rigor of structural model testing — such as structural equation modeling (SEM), path analysis, or confirmatory factor analysis — applied to data collected from the same units (individuals, firms, countries) across multiple time points. This approach enables researchers to test theoretically specified causal and mediation structures while controlling for unobserved unit-level heterogeneity and examining how relationships unfold over time.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
