The sup<InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$LM$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> test for structural change is embedded into a permutation test framework for a simple location model. The resulting conditional permutation distribution is compared to the usual (unconditional) asymptotic distribution, showing that the power of the test can be clearly improved in...</equationsource></inlineequation>

The R package partykit provides a flexible toolkit for learning, representing, summarizing, and visualizing a wide range of tree-structured regression and classification models. The functionality encompasses: (a) basic infrastructure for representing trees (inferred by any algorithm) so that...

The R package coin implements a unified approach to permutation tests providing a huge class of independence tests for nominal, ordered, numeric, and censored data as well as multivariate data at mixed scales. Based on a rich and flexible conceptual framework that embeds different permutation...

The one-factor model restricts the covariance structure of the observed variables on the basis of assumptions about their relationship with an unobserved variable. It is hard to justify these assumptions on substantive or empirical grounds. In this paper, alternative measurement models are...
