This new book is a collection of up-to-date studies on modern categorical data analysis methods, emphasizing their application to relevant and interesting data sets. This volume concentrates on latent class analysis and item response theory.Quantitative methodology series.Social sciencesStatistical methodsStatisticsSocial sciencesStatistical methods.Statistics.300/.1/5195Ark L.
