Stabilizer Variable Test (SVT): Monte Carlo Simulation Results and Analysis Code

2026 simulation results and analysis code for a psychometric method. The dataset contains pre-computed results from 270,000 applications of the Stabilizer Variable Test (SVT) across 540 factorial conditions, generated by Salim Yılmaz. It also includes three empirical datasets from a 2023 survey of Turkish adults and nine R scripts for full analysis replication.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the Type I error rate and statistical power of the Stabilizer Variable Test based on the described simulation conditions.
• Replicating the analysis pipeline for measurement invariance using the provided nine R scripts.
• Benchmarking new invariance tests against the provided simulation results across 540 conditions.
• Analyzing relationships between chronotype, biological rhythm, and physical activity using the included empirical survey data.

Strengths

• Contains results from 270,000 SVT applications, providing a large-scale simulation basis.
• Simulation design is detailed, covering 540 conditions with 500 replications and 1,000 bootstrap resamples each.
• Includes complete analysis code (9 R scripts) for full pipeline replication.
• Empirical data is available from three distinct sample sizes (N=3,072, 1,729, and 1,012).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The primary empirical datasets contain sensitive health information and are not directly included in the repository.
• Row count for the main simulation results file is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
