Latent Variable and Latent Structure Models by George A. Marcoulides (English) P

Description: Latent Variable and Latent Structure Models by George A. Marcoulides, Irini Moustaki The purpose of this edited volume is to introduce the latest issues and developments in latent variable and latent structure models. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This edited volume features cutting-edge topics from the leading researchers in the areas of latent variable modeling. Content highlights include coverage of approaches dealing with missing values, semi-parametric estimation, robust analysis, hierarchical data, factor scores, multi-group analysis, and model testing. New methodological topics are illustrated with real applications. The material presented brings together two traditions: psychometrics and structural equation modeling. Latent Variable and Latent Structure Models thought-provoking chapters from the leading researchers in the area will help to stimulate ideas for further research for many years to come. This volume will be of interest to researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, including biology, business, economics, education, medicine, psychology, sociology, and other social and behavioral sciences. A working knowledge of basic multivariate statistics and measurement theory is assumed. Author Biography George A. Marcoulides, Irini Moustaki Table of Contents Contents: Preface. D.J.

Review "If you have a working knowledge of latent variables, and by now let us hope that most psychologists have, then there is much that one is likely to learn from this book."—British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology"...this volume stimulates the reader not only by presenting methods and data analysis that lead to these results, but also by indicating which questions may be worth asking....Thus, I conclude that the volume presented by Marcoulides and Moustaki can have great appeal (a) to experienced users of latent variable models, latent structure models, and item response theory, because solutions are proposed to important questions, and (b) to researchers who work to further develop methods in these areas because they are provided with an overview of the state of the art. This overview is selective. It reflects the editors perceptions of what is of interest-one more reason to consider this volume."—Contemporary Psychology APA REVIEW OF BOOKS"As for quality of scholarship, it is easily at the highest level....The book will appeal primarily to academicians and researchers--anyone trying to stay current with state-of-the-art matters in structural modeling."—Dr. Keith WidamanUniversity of California at Davis Details ISBN0415649617 Short Title LATENT VARIABLE & LATENT STRUC Language English ISBN-10 0415649617 ISBN-13 9780415649612 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2013 Imprint Psychology Press Ltd Place of Publication Hove Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Irini Moustaki AU Release Date 2013-07-09 NZ Release Date 2013-07-09 Publication Date 2013-07-09 UK Release Date 2013-07-09 Author Irini Moustaki Pages 292 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Series Quantitative Methodology Series Alternative 9780805840469 DEWEY 519.535 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
