Consistency test of reliability index in SEM model

Abstract

The main objective of this present study is to demonstrate the application of reliability tests and their consistency on any constructs of patient loyalty model using SEM appproach. There are three reliability tests implemented here, i.e Coefficient of Reliability (CR), Coefficient of Reliability Composite Score McDonald's ω, and Coefficient of Reliability Construct Weighted. After implementing those three reliability tests to the data, this empirical study found that all reliability tests result almost the same values. The consistency of all three reliability test are then checked by simulation study. The simulation study prove that all reliability tests are consistence as well, the values of reliability index are almost the same for various size of samples. It is concluded here that any constructs in proposed model of patient loyalty is reliable and the coresponding proposed model could be accepted.

Validity test and its consistency in the construction of patient loyalty model

“…We first designed the measurement and structural model to determine the validity and reliability of the relationship betwen indicator and its latent variable and amongs latent variables simultaneously. Yanuar et al [2] have discussed about reliability test in SEM model, meanwhile this paper focussed in estimating the validity and testing its consistency. Table 1 shows the results of validity values, the value of coefficient contingency (R 2 ) and 95% confidence interval bootstrap (to consistency test) for both hypotheses in structural equation.…”

“…The hypotheses model for measurement equations in this research adopted from the model constructed by Yanuar et al [2]. Service quality is assumed measured by reliability, responsiveness, assurance, emphaty and tangible.…”

“…In constructing the model, it needs validity and reliability test to make sure that the corresponding constructs acceptable. Yanuar et al [2] has discussed on how to test the consistency of reliability test in SEM approach. This present study continuous previous study where focus on how to estimate the validity test and test its consistency.…”

The Construction of Patient Loyalty Model Using Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling Approach

“…In this study, Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling is used to construct the model for describing the patient loyalty. Many researchers such as Lee et al [4], Lee and Shi [3] and Ferra Y et al [5] [6] proposed the use of Bayesian approach in SEM to overcome these problems. The Bayesian SEM approach is attractive since it allows the user to use the prior information for updating the current information regarding the parameters of interest.…”

“…This study uses data from the survey conducted by Center for Local Political Studies and Autonomy Andalas University Area [6]. The data is the result of a survey on the perception of the community who got the health service at selected Puskesmas in Padang City.…”
