The book tries to make MDS more accessible to a wider audience in terms of the language and examples that are more relevant to educational and psychological research and less technical so that the readers are not overwhelmed by equations. The goal is for readers to learn the methods described in this book and immediately start using MDS via available software programs. The book also examines new applications that have previously not been discussed in MDS literature. It should be an ideal book for graduate students and researchers to better understand MDS. Fundamentals of Applied Multidimensional Scaling for Educational and Psychological Research is divided into three parts. Part I covers the basic and fundamental features of MDS models pertaining to applied research applications. Chapters in this section cover the essential features of data that are typically associated with MDS analysis such as preference ration or binary choice data, and also looking at metric and non-metric MDS models to build a foundation for later discussion and applications in later chapters. Part II examines specific MDS models and its applications for education and psychology. This includes spatial analysis methods that can be used in MDS to test clustering effect of items and individual differences MDS model (INDSCAL). Finally, Part III focuses on new applications of MDS analysis in these research fields. These new applications consist of profile analysis, longitudinal analysis, mean-level change, and pattern change. The book concludes with a historical review of MDS development as an analytical method and a look to future directions. .StatisticsPsychometricsEducation—ResearchStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040Psychometricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y43000Research Methods in Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O54000Statistics.Psychometrics.Education—Research.Statistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law.Psychometrics.Research Methods in Education.519.535Ding Cody Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut768252BOOK9910300106103321Fundamentals of Applied Multidimensional Scaling for Educational and Psychological Research1564741UNINA01479nam 22004333 450 991014872950332120240205120216.01-4406-2610-31-4362-9420-7(CKB)3710000000922246(MiAaPQ)EBC31099040(Au-PeEL)EBL31099040(OCoLC)1420630162(EXLCZ)99371000000092224620240205d2007 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Complete Idiot's Guide to Cooking for Two Delicious and Easy Meals--Without Prepackaged Foods!1st ed.New York :Dorling Kindersley Publishing, Incorporated,2007.©2007.1 online resource (236 pages)1-59257-607-9 Perfect for young working couples and empty-nesters!This book offers familiar favorites and new dishes to tempt your taste buds...all specially developed to serve two, without dealing with leftovers for the next week.Complete Idiot's Guide to Cooking for TwoCooking for twoCooking for two.641.5/61Brown Ellen1235444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910148729503321The complete idiot's guide to cooking for two2869505UNINA
