Bøker i Multivariate Applications Series-serien

This work covers topics such as meta-analysis of effect sizes, meta-analysis of correlations and conversion and transformation equations.

Beginning with an overview of the basic concepts of SEM and the EQS program, this book works through applications starting with simple single group analyses, through to more advanced applications, such as a multi-group, latent growth curve, and multilevel modeling. It provides a non-mathematical introduction to the basic concepts of SEM.

This volume provides innovative, practical and clear guidance for students who are training to teach statistics and quantitative methods to undergraduates or who are already teaching and want to improve their knowledge and skills. It also inspires instructors to think critically about their teaching of statistics and quantitative methods.

With the aid of this book's user friendly style, readers gain a greater understanding of sophisticated multivariate techniques and how to apply them to substance use research questions.

This volume presents a collection of chapters on the study of multivariate change, focusing on methodological, statistical, and modeling aspects of multivariate change and applications of longitudinal models to the study of psychological processes.

This book develops an intuitive understanding of item response theory (IRT) principles through the use of graphical displays and analogies to psychological principles. The IRT psychometric method is especially useful to psychologists and other social scientists that are familiar with small scale cognitive and personality measures.

The classic edition of What If There Were No Significance Tests? highlights current statistical inference practices. Four areas are featured as essential for making inferences: sound judgment, meaningful research questions, relevant design, and assessing fit in multiple ways.

This handbook reviews classic and emerging IRT methods and applications that are revolutionizing psychological measurement, particularly for health outcome assessments used to demonstrate treatment effectiveness. Conceptual and statistical issues confronting researchers in psychology, education, and medicine are addressed including multidimensional and explanatory models. World renowned contributors offer examples using real data, some from NIH-PROMIS. The book reviews the most significant IRT models and the obstacles that arise in their application. Each chapter reviews the current literature and describes related research methods, applies the material, and suggests future directions.

This volume is intended to appeal to researchers who work with nested data structures or repeated measures data, including biomedical and health researchers, clinical/intervention researchers and developmental and educational psychologists. It also has some potential as a graduate level text.

This volume provides statisticians and graduate students with a comprehensive view of structural equation modeling using several different command languages.

With the aid of this work's user-friendly style, readers gain a greater understanding of sophisticated multivariate techniques and how to apply them to substance use research.

This edited volume makes accessible the latest techniques used to assess intraindividual variability(how indivs behave across time & to what degree behavior changes). Unneccessary mathematical detail is avoided & concrete empirical examples provided.

This book is intended as a celebration of the seminal work of Rod McDonald's career and covers a wide range of topics in psychometrics.
