Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Originally published in 1972 there were many ‘classics’ dealing with assessment and testing on the market at the time but most of these left the inexperienced reader bewildered in the early stages because of their size and insufficient explanation of the many technical terms used. There were a distinct lack of books which gave students in Colleges of Education dealing with psychology for the first time a simple explanation of basic terms in assessment and testing and which introduced them briefly to the different types of tests available. Assessment and Testing aimed to fill this large gap. It looks at such key psychological terms as ‘sample’ ‘objectivity’ ‘subjectivity’ and such basic statistical terms such as ‘mean’ ‘standard deviation’ and ‘normal curve of distribution’. Because it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of such terms it gives careful and simply illustrated explanations of each. In the same way in simple language with any technical terms explained and illustrated it explains intelligence and personality tests questionnaires sociometric measures projection techniques and other areas of assessment and testing which every practising teacher will meet. The book aims to be essentially practical. It is appreciated all the time that the readers are those who will teach children. It is designed to provide a solid foundation upon which the reader can build later to augment his own experience of identifying children’s particular needs. | Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest changepoint detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently. The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and changepoint detection both in decision-theoretic (Bayesian) and non-decision-theoretic (non-Bayesian) contexts. The authors not only emphasize traditional binary hypotheses but also substantially more difficult multiple decision problems. They address scenarios with simple hypotheses and more realistic cases of two and finitely many composite hypotheses. The book primarily focuses on practical discrete-time models with certain continuous-time models also examined when general results can be obtained very similarly in both cases. It treats both conventional i. i. d. and general non-i. i. d. stochastic models in detail including Markov hidden Markov state-space regression and autoregression models. Rigorous proofs are given for the most important results. Written by leading authorities in the field this book covers the theoretical developments and applications of sequential hypothesis testing and sequential quickest changepoint detection in a wide range of engineering and environmental domains. It explains how the theoretical aspects influence the hypothesis testing and changepoint detection problems as well as the design of algorithms. | Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns such as rights freedoms capabilities and duties. It explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the self and the other. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector women and clothing and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through the integration of LGBT representations into broader political struggles over values the assertion of women’s rights and freedoms from traditional values surrounding dress and the conflict between essentialist intolerance and the syncretic traditions of Alevi identity. Bringing these landscapes together with the surrounding cultural tensions in Turkey and the West Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies and politics gender studies and cultural studies. | Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance
