psychometrics
Definition
Psychometrics refers to the field of psychological measurement and analysis of psychological constructs through statistical and computational methods, particularly involving the estimation of relationships between variables in psychological research. Network psychometrics employs graphical models where nodes represent variables and edges represent statistical relationships between them. Contemporary approaches in network psychometrics utilize tools like Bayesian Gaussian Graphical Models to identify partial correlations between variables while avoiding spurious relationships.
