商品描述
This new edition provides a step-by-step guide to applying the Rasch model in R, a probabilistic model used by researchers across the social sciences to measure unobservable ("latent") variables. Although the focus is on simple R code, the book provides updated guidance through the point-and-click menus of BlueSky Statistics software.
The book covers all Rasch models frequently used in social sciences, from the Simple Rasch model to the Rating Scale, Partial Credit, and Many-Facets Rasch models. Using a pragmatic approach to model-data fit, this book offers helpful practical examples to investigate Rasch model assumptions. In addition to traditional Rasch model approaches, it introduces the Rasch model as a special case of a Generalized Mixed Effects Model. Readers will also benefit from the online support material which includes all the code used in the book in downloadable and useable files.
It also provides a comprehensive guide to R programming and practical guidance on using BlueSky Statistics software's point-and-click menus. This dual approach enables readers to experiment with data analysis using the provided data sets, enhancing their understanding and application of statistical concepts. It will be a valuable resource for both students and researchers who want to use Rasch models in their research.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這個新版本提供了一個逐步指南，教導如何在 R 中應用 Rasch 模型，這是一種被社會科學研究者用來測量不可觀察（「潛在」）變數的機率模型。雖然重點在於簡單的 R 代碼，但本書也通過 BlueSky Statistics 軟體的點擊式菜單提供了更新的指導。
本書涵蓋了社會科學中常用的所有 Rasch 模型，從簡單的 Rasch 模型到評分量表、部分信用和多面向 Rasch 模型。採用務實的方法來評估模型與數據的適配性，本書提供了有助於檢驗 Rasch 模型假設的實用範例。除了傳統的 Rasch 模型方法外，它還將 Rasch 模型介紹為廣義混合效應模型的一個特例。讀者還可以受益於在線支援材料，其中包括本書中使用的所有代碼，這些代碼可以下載和使用。
本書還提供了 R 程式設計的全面指南，以及使用 BlueSky Statistics 軟體的點擊式菜單的實用指導。這種雙重方法使讀者能夠使用提供的數據集進行數據分析實驗，增強他們對統計概念的理解和應用。對於希望在研究中使用 Rasch 模型的學生和研究人員來說，這將是一個寶貴的資源。
