Direct and indirect effects in a logit model
Buis, Maarten L. - In: Stata Journal 10 (2010) 1, pp. 11-29
In this article, I discuss a method by Erikson et al. (2005, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 102: 9730–9733) for decomposing a total effect in a logit model into direct and indirect effects. Moreover, I extend this method in three ways. First, in the original method the variable...

A comparison of different methods for decomposition of changes in expectation of life at birth and differentials in life expectancy at birth
Ponnapalli, K. Murthy - In: Demographic Research 12 (2005) 7, pp. 141-172
Several methods were proposed to decompose the difference between two life expectancies at birth into the contribution by different age groups. In this study an attempt has been made to compare different methods with that of Chandra Sekar (1949) method. The methodologies suggested by Arriaga,...

The Infinitesimal Jackknife with Exploratory Factor Analysis
Zhang, Guangjian; Preacher, Kristopher; Jennrich, Robert - In: Psychometrika 77 (2012) 4, pp. 634-648
The infinitesimal jackknife, a nonparametric method for estimating standard errors, has been used to obtain standard error estimates in covariance structure analysis. In this article, we adapt it for obtaining standard errors for rotated factor loadings and factor correlations in exploratory...
