Median c-hat reference?

[rems]

Dear All:

I performed a goodness of fit test to a multistate model via median c-hat approach. Since I am going to submit a manuscript I have been searching a reference to cite the article and the author that explains this methodology but I havent found it. Ive searched in Mark help, Cooch and White great book and in the main Mark webpage.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

No primary reference for median c-hat - so (i) say you used median c-hat as implemented in MARK, (ii) cite the White & Burnham 'standard citation' for MARK, then (iii) describe the method (i.e., the basic approach).

That should be sufficient.

Has anything come out in the year and half since this post? I have seen recent papers cite the GI, although I think you still advise against this.

Yes, I still advise against it - nothing has come out yet. As per my earlier post, simply cite the primary MARK reference, and say you used the median c-hat approach as implemented in MARK.
