Statistical Analysis of Questionnaires (eBook, ePUB)

A Unified Approach Based on R and Stata

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents special statistical methods for analyzing data collected by questionnaires. It takes an applied approach to testing and measurement tasks, mirroring the growing use of statistical methods and software in education, psychology, sociology, and other fields. The authors cover classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) basics, explore the latest IRT extensions, and describe estimation methods and diagnostic instruments. Stata and R software codes are included for each method and example datasets are available on the authors' web page.
