Introduction to Nonparametric Item Response Theory
This volume introdudes social science students and researchers to the theory and practice of the highly powerful methods of nonpatametric item response theory (IRT).
Ordinal Item Response Theory
Measurement in the social sciences often refers to standardized answers to close-ended questions, in which answers are analyzed as if they were measurements on an interval scale. This volume presents a measurement model that maintains the ordinal aspects of the data in order to establish how well the model fits and how it measures subjects and items. It relaxes the most stringent assumptions from parametric item response theory, while maintaining its advantages over classical measurement methods, such as reliability and factor analysis. This volume is less technical than other books on the topic and is ideal for introductory courses in social science measurement.
