Correlation between residuals in confirmatory factor analysis: a brief guide to their use and interpretation by Sergio Dominguez-Lara

“…Introduction: The inclusion of correlations between residuals in measurement models is a common practice in psychometric research and is predominantly oriented to the statistical improvement of the model through increase (for example, IFC) or decrease (for example, RMSEA) of the magnitude of certain adjustment indices, rather than understanding the nature of these associations. …”

Optimization of retarder parameters for switchable privacy mode automotive displays under asymmetric viewing conditions by Minseo Kang, Hoon-Sub Shin, Jong-Min Baek, Ji-Hoon Lee

“…The SPM display in front of the co-driver was considered, which is seen under asymmetric viewing conditions. The orientation of the slow axis, retardation dispersion, and biaxiality of the retarder were varied to maximize the SPM’s optical performance in the driver’s and co-driver’s viewing directions. …”

On the Inverse EEG Problem for a 1D Current Distribution by George Dassios, George Fragoyiannis, Konstantia Satrazemi

“…In the present work, we actually demonstrate this possibility by assuming a one-dimensional current distribution supported on a small line segment having arbitrary location and orientation within a uniform spherical conductor. The immediate representation of this problem refers to the inverse problem of electroencephalography (EEG) with a linear current distribution and the spherical model of the brain-head system. …”
