Description:

Contemporary Psychometricsfeatures cutting edge chapters organized in four sections: test theory, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and multivariate analysis.The section on test theory includes topics such as multidimensional item response theory (IRT), the relationship between IRT and factor analysis, estimation and testing of these models, and basic measurement issues that are often neglected.The factor analysis section reviews the history and development of the model, factorial invariance and factor analysis indeterminacy, and Bayesian inference for factor scores and parameter estimates.The section on structural equation modeling (SEM) includes the general algebraic-graphic…
