Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

Nonparametric Statistical Tests: A Computational Approach describes classical nonparametric tests as well as novel and little-known methods such as the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler and the Cucconi tests. The book presents SAS and R programs allowing readers to carry out the different statistical methods such as permutation and bootstrap tests. The author considers example data sets in each chapter to illustrate methods. Numerous real-life data from various areas including the bible and their analyses provide for greatly diversified reading. The book covers: Nonparametric two-sample tests for the location-shift model specifically the Fisher-Pitman permutation test the Wilcoxon rank sum test and the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test Permutation tests location-scale tests tests for the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem and tests for a difference in variability Tests for the general alternative including the (Kolmogorov-)Smirnov test ordered categorical and discrete numerical data Well-known one-sample tests such as the sign test and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test a modification suggested by Pratt (1959) a permutation test with original observations and a one-sample bootstrap test are presented. Tests for more than two groups the following tests are described in detail: the Kruskal-Wallis test the permutation F test the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test tests for umbrella alternatives and the Friedman and Page tests for multiple dependent groups The concepts of independence and correlation and stratified tests such as the van Elteren test and combination tests The applicability of computer-intensive methods such as bootstrap and permutation tests for non-standard situations and complex designs Although the major development of nonparametric methods came to a certain end in the 1970s their importance undoubtedly persists. What is still needed is a computer assisted evaluation of their main properties. This book closes that gap. | Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

A Theory of Group Structures Volume II: Empirical Tests

An Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment Using Interpreting and Developing Tests

An Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment Using Interpreting and Developing Tests

An Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment is the successor to Cooper’s prize-winning book Psychological Testing: Theory and Practice. This expanded and updated volume shows how psychological questionnaires and tests can be chosen administered scored interpreted and developed. In providing students researchers test users test developers and practitioners in the social sciences education and health with an evaluative guide to choosing using interpreting and developing tests it provides readers a thorough grasp of the principles (and limitations) of testing together with the necessary methodological detail. This book has three distinctive features. First it stresses the basic logic of psychological assessment without getting bogged down with mathematics; the spreadsheet simulations and utilities which are integrated into the text allow users to explore how numbers behave rather than reading equations. Readers will learn by doing. Second it covers both the theory behind psychological assessment and the practicalities of locating designing and using tests and interpreting their scores. Finally it is evaluative. Rather than just describing concepts such as test reliability or adaptive testing it stresses the underlying principles merits and drawbacks of each approach to assessment and methods of developing and evaluating questionnaires and tests. Unusually for an introductory text it includes coverage of several cutting-edge techniques and this new edition expands the discussion on measurement invariance methods of detecting/quantifying bias and hierarchical factor models and features added sections on: Best practices for translation of tests into other languages and problems of cultural bias Automatic item generation The advantages drawbacks and practicalities of internet-based testing Generalizability theory Network analysis Dangerous assumptions made when scoring tests The accuracy of tests used for assessing individuals The two-way relationship between psychometrics and psychological theory Aimed at non-mathematicians this friendly and engaging text will help you to understand the fundamental principles of psychometrics that underpin the measurement of any human characteristic using any psychological test. Written by a leading figure in the field and accompanied by additional resources including a set of spreadsheets which use simulated data and other techniques to illustrate important issues this is an essential introduction for all students of psychology and related disciplines. It assumes very little statistical background and is written for students studying psychological assessment or psychometrics and for researchers and practitioners who use questionnaires and tests to measure personality cognitive abilities educational attainment mood or motivation. | An Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment Using Interpreting and Developing Tests

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis explains the key concepts in statistical power analysis and illustrates their application in both tests of traditional null hypotheses (that treatments or interventions have no effect in the population) and in tests of the minimum-effect hypotheses (that the population effects of treatments or interventions are so small that they can be safely treated as unimportant). It provides readers with the tools to understand and perform power analyses for virtually all the statistical methods used in the social and behavioral sciences. Brett Myors and Kevin Murphy apply the latest approaches of power analysis to both null hypothesis and minimum-effect testing using the same basic unified model. This book starts with a review of the key concepts that underly statistical power. It goes on to show how to perform and interpret power analyses and the ways to use them to diagnose and plan research. We discuss the uses of power analysis in correlation and regression in the analysis of experimental data and in multilevel studies. This edition includes new material and new power software. The programs used for power analysis in this book have been re-written in R a language that is widely used and freely available. The authors include R codes for all programs and we have also provided a web-based app that allows users who are not comfortable with R to perform a wide range of analyses using any computer or device that provides access to the web. Statistical Power Analysis helps readers design studies diagnose existing studies and understand why hypothesis tests come out the way they do. The fifth edition includes updates to all chapters to accommodate the most current scholarship as well as recalculations of all examples. This book is intended for graduate students and faculty in the behavioral and social sciences; researchers in other fields will find the concepts and methods laid out here valuable and applicable to studies in many domains. | Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based and readable account of improving life at home for people with a dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide the majority of whom will live or want to live in their own home. Yet there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in hospitals or care homes and takes a medical perspective. This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those living with the condition and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships – that is the diversity of people living with a dementia – enabling life at home rethinking self-management the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home technological care and citizenship and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the areas of professional practice education and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home this book provides a synthesised critical and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved.
