{"product_id":"modern-psychometrics-with-r","title":"Modern Psychometrics with R by Patrick Mair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003ci\u003elingua franca\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelevant courses include methods of scaling, latent variable modeling, psychometrics for graduate students in Psychology, and multivariate methods in the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143989604542,"sku":null,"price":70.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/0592\/5054\/files\/1005233483370.jpg?v=1783673485","url":"https:\/\/bookshopnow.com\/products\/modern-psychometrics-with-r","provider":"Book Shop Now","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
