General Multi-Level Modeling with Sampling Weights (2006, methodology): “…wjwij (29) ̂AI = ∑ ij wjwij yij − ȳj 2∑ ij wjwij 1− 1/nj (30) ̂AI = ∑ ij wjwij ȳj − ̂ 2∑ ij wjwij − ̂ nj (31) The parameter estimate with scaling method A are asymptotically equivalent to Method 2 in Stapleton (2002), note, however, that the asymptotic covariance of the parameter estimates is…”
Sample Size Limits for Estimating Upper Level Mediation Models Using Multilevel SEM (2013, methodology): “Choice of the values for nj of 20 and 40 was based on previous methodological research findings (Hox & Maas, 2001; Julian, 2001; Pfeffermann, Skinner, Holmes, Goldstein, & Rasbash. 1998; Preacher et al., 2011; Stapleton, 2002) concerning minimum within-cluster sample sizes.”
An Assessment of Practical Solutions for Structural Equation Modeling with Complex Sample Data (2006, methodology): “Additionally, Stapleton (2002) examined the success of this method of using an effective sample size weight in her multilevel SEM simulation study.”
Multilevel modelling of complex survey data (2006, background): “Muthén and Satorra (1995), Stapleton (2002) and Skinner and Holmes (2003) considered a related approach where weighted mean and covariance matrices are used in the fitting functions of the weighted least squares estimator implemented in standard software for structural equation modelling.”
Sampling Weights in Latent Variable Modeling (2005, background): “In a somewhat different context Stapleton (2002) demonstrated thisaswell.”
Achievements and self-concepts in a comparison of math and science: exploring the internal/external frame of reference model across 28 countries (2008, methodology): “Detailed procedures for multilevel SEM using LISREL can be found in Du Toit and Du Toit ( 2001 ) and Stapleton ( 2002 ).”
lavaan.survey: An R Package for Complex Survey Analysis of Structural Equation Models (2014, methodology): “If one deﬁnes n eﬀ := n/ ¯ δ , Equation 8 provides a rationale for the eﬀective sample size method discussed by Stapleton (2002), although the method of obtaining n eﬀ is diﬀerent, and there is no guarantee that standard errors will be adequately corrected just by replacing n by n eﬀ in variance…”
What Are the Different Types of Principals Across the United States? A Latent Class Analysis of Principal Perception of Leadership (2014, background): “Weights correct the standard error from sampling bias for each respondent of a subgroup within a unit, which, if underestimated, increases the probability of a false rejection of a null hypothesis (Stapleton, 2002; Strayhorn, 2009).”
The influence of line managers and HR department on employees' affective commitment (2011, unknown): “We took into account the nested structure of our data (employee questionnaires of 929 employees from 133 teams within three organizations were used) and controlled for the non-independence of our observations to obtain accurate parameter estimates and standard errors (Stapleton 2002).”
