Recognizing that our entire voting process-from registering to vote to following instructions at the polling place-can be almost as confusing as the Florida ballot, Design for Democracy builds on the lessons of 2000 by presenting innovative steps for redesigning elections in the service of citizens.Handsomely designed itself, this volume showcases adaptable 606 $aBallot$zUnited States 606 $aVoting$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBallot 615 0$aVoting 676 $a324.60973 700 $aLausen$b Marcia$0920987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453870003321 996 $aDesign for democracy$92065695 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05804nam 22006855 450 001 9910416094403321 005 20251010074948.0 010 $a9783030434205 010 $a3030434206 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-43420-5 035 $a(CKB)4100000011343248 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6273693 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-43420-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6264991 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011343248 100 $a20200715d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Rasch Analyses in the Human Sciences /$fby William J.

Some Concluding Thoughts. 330 $aThis volume follows the publication of Rasch Analysis in the Human Sciences. This new book presents additional topics not discussed in the previous volume. It examines key topics such as partial credit analysis of data, common person linking, computing equating constants, investigating discrimination, evaluating dimensionality, how to better utilize Wright Maps, how to design tests and surveys using Rasch theory, and many more. The book includes activities which can be used to practice the theme of each chapter and to test the reader?s understanding of Rasch techniques. Beginning and ending with a conversation between two students, each chapter provides clear step-by-step instructions as to how to conduct an analysis using the chapter theme. The chapters emphasize applications for the beginner learning Rasch and provide guidance for composing a write-up of an analysis for a presentation, paper, thesis or report. This book explores in detail many important yet often rarely discussed topics in Rasch. With its easy-to-read language and engaging format it reaches a wide audience of scientists, clinicians, students, researchers and psychometricians, providing a valuable toolkit for practical users of Rasch analysis. ? Dr. Eva Fenwick, Clinical Research Fellow, Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI) Assistant Professor, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore It is an easy to read book and provides immediate guidance for those wishing to conduct a Rasch analysis. The ?conversations? between students in each chapter provides a welcome introduction to each topic. ? Prof. Maik Walpuski, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany The lessons learned in their first book are extended by providing insightful demonstrations of some of the more complex concepts and techniques used in applying Rasch models. ? Dr. Michael R. Peabody, National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, Illinois, USA I am amazed with the ability of these authors to communicate complicated knowledge, and the ability to make this highly complicated knowledge accessible to new learners guiding every step of the way. Through this book we get important knowledge about techniques and the different areas of use for Rasch methods in the human sciences This is truly an important book for students and researchers. ?
