BifactorCalc: An Online Calculator for Ancillary Measures of Bifactor Models
The bifactor model allows examining the presence of a total score in a data set by modeling a general factor and two or more specific factors with an orthogonal relationship. These models tend to overestimate the goodness of fit (e.g., CFI, RMSEA, SRMR), hence there exist auxiliary measures that all...

| description | The bifactor model allows examining the presence of a total score in a data set by modeling a general factor and two or more specific factors with an orthogonal relationship. These models tend to overestimate the goodness of fit (e.g., CFI, RMSEA, SRMR), hence there exist auxiliary measures that allow examining the dimensionality (ECVGen; ECVSpecific; I-ECV, PUC, ARPB), and reliability (ω, ωS, ωH, ωHS, PRV, H, and FD). The present study describes the operation, mathematical foundations, and application in psychological research of an online calculator called BifactorCalc. The results demonstrate that BifactorCalc is an online, user-friendly, and easy-to-use computer program for the calculation of the different auxiliary measures of bifactor models. It was concluded that the computer tool BifactorCalc is able to calculate the auxiliary measures of bifactor models in three simple steps and generate a path diagram. |

El modelo bifactor permite examinar la presencia de una puntuación total en un conjunto de datos a partir del modelamiento de un factor general y dos o más factores específicos con relación ortogonal. Estos modelos tienden a sobreestimar las bondades de ajuste (v.g., CFI, RMSEA, SRMR), y por esta razón es que existen medidas auxiliares que permiten examinar la dimensionalidad (ECVGen; ECVSpecific; I-ECV, PUC, ARPB) y la fiabilidad (ω, ωS, ωH, ωHS, PRV, H y FD). El presente estudio describe el funcionamiento, fundamentos matemáticos y aplicación en la investigación psicológica de una calculadora online denominada BifactorCalc. Los resultados demuestran que el BifactorCalc es un programa informático online, amigable y de fácil utilización para el cálculo de las diferentes medidas auxiliares de los modelos bifactor. Se concluye que el BifactorCalc es una herramienta informática que tiene la capacidad de calcular las medidas auxiliares de modelos bifactor en tres simples pasos y generar un diagrama path.
