Springer International Publishing AG The Basics of Item Response Theory Using R
Book SynopsisThis graduate-level textbook is a tutorial for item response theory that covers both the basics of item response theory and the use of R for preparing graphical presentation in writings about the theory. Item response theory has become one of the most powerful tools used in test construction, yet one of the barriers to learning and applying it is the considerable amount of sophisticated computational effort required to illustrate even the simplest concepts. This text provides the reader access to the basic concepts of item response theory freed of the tedious underlying calculations. It is intended for those who possess limited knowledge of educational measurement and psychometrics.Rather than presenting the full scope of item response theory, this textbook is concise and practical and presents basic concepts without becoming enmeshed in underlying mathematical and computational complexities. Clearly written text and succinct R code allow anyone familiar with statistical concepts to explore and apply item response theory in a practical way. In addition to students of educational measurement, this text will be valuable to measurement specialists working in testing programs at any level and who need an understanding of item response theory in order to evaluate its potential in their settings.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Getting Started.- 1. The Item Characteristic Curve.- 2. Item Characteristic Curve Models.- 3. Estimating Item Parameters.- 4. The Test Characteristic Curve.- 5. Estimating an Examinee’s Ability.- 6.

Springer International Publishing AG Modern Psychometrics with R
Book SynopsisThis textbook describes the broadening methodology spectrum of psychological measurement in order to meet the statistical needs of a modern psychologist. The way statistics is used, and maybe even perceived, in psychology has drastically changed over the last few years; computationally as well as methodologically. R has taken the field of psychology by storm, to the point that it can now safely be considered the lingua franca for statistical data analysis in psychology. The goal of this book is to give the reader a starting point when analyzing data using a particular method, including advanced versions, and to hopefully motivate him or her to delve deeper into additional literature on the method. Beginning with one of the oldest psychometric model formulations, the true score model, Mair devotes the early chapters to exploring confirmatory factor analysis, modern test theory, and a sequence of multivariate exploratory method. Subsequent chapters present special techniques useful for modern psychological applications including correlation networks, sophisticated parametric clustering techniques, longitudinal measurements on a single participant, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In addition to using real-life data sets to demonstrate each method, the book also reports each method in three parts-- first describing when and why to apply it, then how to compute the method in R, and finally how to present, visualize, and interpret the results. Requiring a basic knowledge of statistical methods and R software, but written in a casual tone, this text is ideal for graduate students in psychology. Relevant courses include methods of scaling, latent variable modeling, psychometrics for graduate students in Psychology, and multivariate methods in the social sciences.Trade Review“The book gives an exhaustive overview of statistical methods that may be used when analyzing results of research in psychology. Main accent is on the use of R software during analysis of data. The main goal of the book is to provide the reader with main methods used for data analysis and how those methods may be executed using software package R.” (Jonas Šiaulys, zbMath 1414.62006, 2019)Table of ContentsClassical Test Theory.-Factor Analysis.- Path Analysis and Structural Equation Models.- Item Response Theory.- Preference Modeling.- Principal Component Analysis and Extensions.- Correspondence Analysis.- Gifi Methods.- Multidimensional Scaling.- Biplots.- Networks.- Parametric Cluster Analysis and Mixture Regression.- Modeling Trajectories and Time Series.- Analysis of fMRI Data.

Springer International Publishing AG Advanced Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences:
Book SynopsisThis book demonstrates the importance of computer-generated statistical analyses in behavioral science research, particularly those using the R software environment. Statistical methods are being increasingly developed and refined by computer scientists, with expertise in writing efficient and elegant computer code. Unfortunately, many researchers lack this programming background, leaving them to accept on faith the black-box output that emerges from the sophisticated statistical models they frequently use. Building on the author’s previous volume, Linear Models in Matrix Form, this text bridges the gap between computer science and research application, providing easy-to-follow computer code for many statistical analyses using the R software environment. The text opens with a foundational section on linear algebra, then covers a variety of advanced topics, including robust regression, model selection based on bias and efficiency, nonlinear models and optimization routines, generalized linear models, and survival and time-series analysis. Each section concludes with a presentation of the computer code used to illuminate the analysis, as well as pointers to packages in R that can be used for similar analyses and nonstandard cases. The accessible code and breadth of topics make this book an ideal tool for graduate students or researchers in the behavioral sciences who are interested in performing advanced statistical analyses without having a sophisticated background in computer science and mathematics.Table of ContentsLinear Equations.- Least Squares Estimation.- Linear Regression.- Eigen Decomposition.- Singular Value Decomposition.- Generalized Least Squares Estimation.- Robust Regression.- Model Selection and Biased Estimation.- Cubic Splines and Additive Models.- Nonlinear Regression and Optimization.- Generalized Linear Models.- Survival Analysis.- Time Series Analysis.- Mixed Effects Models.

Peter Lang AG Introduction to Many-Facet Rasch Measurement:
Book SynopsisSince the early days of performance assessment, human ratings have been subject to various forms of error and bias. Expert raters often come up with different ratings for the very same performance and it seems that assessment outcomes largely depend upon which raters happen to assign the rating. This book provides an introduction to many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM), a psychometric approach that establishes a coherent framework for drawing reliable, valid, and fair inferences from rater-mediated assessments, thus answering the problem of fallible human ratings. Revised and updated throughout, the Second Edition includes a stronger focus on the Facets computer program, emphasizing the pivotal role that MFRM plays for validating the interpretations and uses of assessment outcomes.Trade Review«[…] this book covers a diverse array of both basic and important topics related to Rasch measurement, providing insights into complexities and intricacies involved in rater-mediated performance assessment. This books is highly recommended to researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders who are interested in Rasch measurement, but only have a limited understanding of Rasch modeling. The book is also suitable for advanced learners and applied researchers who could consult advanced modeling techniques discussed in Chapters 8 and 9.» (Chao Han, Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2019, Vol. 17, N° 2) «The strengths of this book are numerous. Discussing the MFRM approach in the context of language testing can make the concept of facets (raters, students, etc.) and their associated issues (e.g., rater variability) appealing to educators. The book discusses the limitations of standard approaches in reducing between-rater variation and shows how the MFRM approach can be used to regulate error proneness of human ratings that is inherent in such ratings. The author’s broad perspective on psychometric argument of fair scores can be used with an eye toward equity in human ratings of students’ performance. The quality of the examples in the book is impressive. It provides an understanding of the potential in using the MFRM approach in the broader fields of education, human health sciences, and many other fields» (Daeryong Seo & Husein Taherbhai, Applied Psychological Measurement, 2013, 37(2))Table of ContentsContents: Conceptual-psychometric framework for rater-mediated assessments – Principles of many-facet Rasch measurement – Measurement of rater severity/leniency – Correcting examinee proficiency measures for rater severity differences – Examining rater consistency and rating scale effectiveness – Increasing validity and fairness of performance assessments.

Springer Kriterienorientierte Inhaltsanalyse von
Book SynopsisIm Jahr 2014 nahmen Volbert und Steller eine Neuordnung der 19 Kriterien der Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) vor, welche die Kriterien anhand möglicher zugrundeliegender Prozesse in 1. Charakteristika episodischer autobiographischer Erinnerungen, 2. Schemaabweichungen und Schemairrelevanz indizierende Kriterien und 3. Mit strategischer Selbstpräsentation asssoziierte Kriterien gruppierte. Volbert und Steller formulierten hierzu die Annahme, dass Kriterien aus der 1. Gruppe grundsätzlich auch in konfabulierten Aussagen auftauchen sollten, während Kriterien der zweiten Gruppe von Falschaussagenden vermieden werden sollten. Die vorliegende Studie untersuchte anhand einer Simulationsstudie, inwiefern sich diese Annahmen bestätigen lassen und ob eine literaturbasierte Erfassung kriterienimmanenter Steigerungsformen der Aussagequalität die Validität der Kriterien aus Gruppe 1 möglicherweise verbessern kann. 248 Schüler*innen erlebten oder konfabulierten den Ablauf eines dyadischen Interaktionsspiels und wurden anschließend ausführlich dazu befragt. Die von Volbert und Steller (2014) formulierte Annahme einer überlegenen Validität von auf Schemaabweichungen basierenden Kriterien ließ sich dabei anhand einzelner Kriterien insgesamt bestätigen.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Theorie.- Studie 1.- Studie 2.- Allgemeine Diskussion.- Fazit und Ausblick.- Literaturverzeichnis.- Anhang.

Springer Verlag, Singapore A Course in Rasch Measurement Theory: Measuring
Book SynopsisThis book applies Rasch measurement theory to the fields of education, psychology, sociology, marketing and health outcomes in order to measure various social constructs. The chief focus is on first principles of both the theory and its applications. Because software is readily available to carry out analyses of real data, numerous small examples are provided in the book. The software used in these examples, and which is helpful in working through the text, is RUMM2030 (Rasch unidimensional models for measurement).The book’s main goals are to equip researchers with the confidence they need in order to be in control of the analysis and interpretation of data, and to make professional rather than primarily statistical decisions mechanically. Because statistical principles are necessarily involved, reviews of the requisite statistics are provided in the Appendix.The content is based on courses that have been taught both online and in intensive form for over two decades. Although first principles are emphasised, much of the book is based on research conducted by the two authors and their colleagues.Table of ContentsPART A: General principles and the dichotomous Rasch model.- Chapter 1: The idea of measurement.- Chapter 2: Constructing instruments to achieve measurement.- Chapter 3: Classical test theory (CTT).- Chapter 4: Reliability and validity in CTT.- Chapter 5: The Guttman structure and analysis of responses.- Chapter 6: The dichotomous Rasch model - The simplest modern test theory model.- Chapter 7: Invariance of comparisons - Separation of person and item parameters.- Chapter 8: Sufficiency - The significance of total scores.- Chapter 9: Estimating item difficulty.- Chapter 10: Estimating person proficiency and person separation.- Chapter 11: Equating - Linking instruments through common items.- Chapter 12: Comparisons and contrasts between CTT and Rasch measurement theory (RMT).- PART B: The dichotomous Rasch model: Fit of responses to the model.- Chapter 13: Fit of responses to the model I - Item characteristic curve and Chi-square tests of fit.- Chapter 14: Violations of the assumption of independence I - Multidimensionality and response dependence.- Chapter 15: Fit of responses to the model II - Analysis of residuals and general principles.- Chapter 16: Fit of responses to the model III - Differential item functioning.- Chapter 17: Fit of responses to the model IV - Guessing.- Chapter 18: Other models of modern test theory for dichotomous responses.- Chapter 19: Comparisons and contrasts between item response theory (IRT) and RMT.- PART C: Extending the dichotomous Rasch model: The polytomous Rasch model.- Chapter 20: The polytomous Rasch model I.- Chapter 21: The polytomous Rasch model II.- Chapter 21: The polytomous Rasch model II.- Chapter 21: The polytomous Rasch model II.- Chapter 24: Violations of the assumption of independence II – The polytomous Rasch model.- Part D: Theoretical justifications and further elaborations.- Chapter 25: Derivation of CTT equations and coefficient α.- Chapter 26: Analysis of more than two facets and repeated measures.- Chapter 27: Derivation of the threshold form of the polytomous Rasch model.- Chapter 28: Non-Rasch measurement models for ordered response categories.- Chapter 29: Review of principles of test analysis using Rasch measurement theory.- Part E: RUMM2030 Exercises.- Exercise 1: Interpretation of RUMM2030 printout.- Exercise 2: Basic analysis of dichotomous and polytomous responses.- Exercise 3: Advanced analysis of dichotomous responses.- Exercise 4: Advanced analysis of polytomous responses.- Exercise 5: Analysis of data with differential item functioning.- Exercise 6: Analysis of data with dependence.- Exercise 7: Analysis of more than two facets and repeated measurements.- Exercise 8: Writing up a Rasch model analysis.- Part F: Statistics Reviews.- Statistics Review 1: Sigma notation, mean, and variance.- Statistics Review 2: Normal distribution.- Statistics Review 3: Covariance and the variance of the sum of two variables.- Statistics Review 4: Regression and correlation.- Statistics Review 5: Probability.- Statistics Review 6: Indices.- Statistics Review 7: Logarithms.- Statistics Review 8: Conditional probability.- Statistics Review 9: Independence.- Statistics Review 10: Bernoulli and Binomial variables.- Statistics Review 11: The Chi-square distribution and test.- Statistics Review 12: Analysis of variance (ANOVA).- Statistics Review 13: Distribution theory.- Statistics Review 14: Basic distributions for tests of fit.- Statistics Review 15: Odds and ratios.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Explanatory Models, Unit Standards, and Personalized Learning in Educational Measurement: Selected Papers by A. Jackson Stenner
Book SynopsisThe papers by Jack Stenner included in this book document the technical details of an art and science of measurement that creates new entrepreneurial business opportunities. Jack brought theory, instruments, and data together in ways that are applicable not only in the context of a given test of reading or mathematics ability, but which more importantly catalyzed literacy and numeracy capital in new fungible expressions. Though Jack did not reflect in writing on the inferential, constructive processes in which he engaged, much can be learned by reviewing his work with his accomplishments in mind. A Foreword by Stenner's colleague and co-author on multiple works, William P. Fisher, Jr., provides key clues concerning (a) how Jack's understanding of measurement and its values aligns with social and historical studies of science and technology, and (b) how recent developments in collaborations of psychometricians and metrologists are building on and expanding Jack's accomplishments.
