Invited Commentary Exploratory Graph Analysis in Context
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O presente artigo apresenta a abordagem de redes psicometricas para a análise de dimensionalidade e de itens denominado de Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA). O artigo inicia contextualizando o campo de análise de redes com trabalhos publicados na decada de 50 e 60. Depois, o artigo brevemente apresenta a abordagem do EGA e outros desenvolvimentos recentes como as cargas de redes (semelhante a cargas fatoriais da analise fatorial), o indice de ajuste de entropia total (para verificar o ajuste da dimensionalidade aos dados), o EGA dinâmico, o bootstrap EGA para analise de estabilidade das dimensoes e dos itens, o EGA de interceptos aleatorios (que lida com wording effects), e o EGA hierárquico para estimar estruturas de alta-ordem (e.g., modelos bifatoriais generalizados). O objetivo do artigo e apresentar ao leitor um conjunto de referencias contextualizadas na area.
