OverviewAI-generated summary
Xinya Liang investigates the application of statistical modeling and quantitative methods across diverse research areas. Her work includes the effectiveness of gamification in programming education, utilizing meta-analysis to synthesize findings from multiple studies. Liang also examines the sensitivity of statistical fit measures in structural equation modeling, particularly in the context of measurement invariance testing, with a focus on both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis frameworks. She has also explored the role of beef and its constituent nutrients in the well-being of older adults through systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials.
Further research by Liang delves into the influence of task type and learner language background on writing production and anxiety, employing Bayesian linear mixed-effects analyses. Her scholarly contributions also extend to examining the simple view of reading using longitudinal data from Kenya, and the application of Bayesian regularization in multiple-indicator, multiple-cause models. Liang's research network includes collaborators such as Angela Tacinelli, Sam Walker, Jihong Zhang, and Ejike Edeh, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. She maintains an active lab website and has published 60 works with 886 citations, maintaining an h-index of 14.
