Stochastic Models
Factor Analysis and Latent Structure Analysis: Overview
Latent Variable Models and Factor Analysis: A Unified Approach
Latent Variable Models and Factor Analysis provides a comprehensive and unified approach to factor analysis and latent variable modeling from a statistical perspective. This book presents a general framework to enable the derivation of the commonly used models, along with updated numerical examples. Nature and interpretation of a latent variable is also introduced along with related techniques for investigating dependency. This book: Provides a u…
Archival sources for Sir Godfrey Hilton Thomson
Sir Godfrey Hilton Thomson was Bell Professor of Education at the University of Edinburgh from 1925 until 1951. He was a prominent theorist of intelligence, statistician and psychometrician, educational researcher, deviser and distributor of intelligence tests, and worked on the issue of intelligence and family size as it affected the population. Despite his previous eminence, he has become an obscure figure. That is, partly, because there are fe…
Embedding the new science of research: The organised culture of Scottish educational research in the mid‐twentieth century
Educational research was established in the early decades of the twentieth century in many parts of Europe. The early years were the crucial years as they established dominant forms of inquiry, pioneer sites, and related artefacts, the tools and texts. This paper focuses on the early growth of research culture in education in Scotland, its subjects of study, and its key workers, texts and innovations, to illuminate one site of research developmen…
Analysis of Multivariate Social Science Data
Drawing on the authors' varied experiences working and teaching in the field, Analysis of Multivariate Social Science Data, Second Editionenables a basic understanding of how to use key multivariate methods in the social sciences. With updates in every chapter, this edition expands its topics to include regression analysis, con
A conversation between Charles Spearman, Godfrey Thomson, and Edward L. Thorndike: The International Examinations Inquiry Meetings 1931-1938
Even within appreciation of the fundamentally social nature of scientific activity (K. Danziger, 1990, p. 3), it is unusual to read what key scientists actually said to each other, directly or in audience. Here the authors describe, structure, illustrate, and interpret the verbatim statements made by, and a detailed conversation that took place between, Charles Spearman, Godfrey Thomson, and Edward Thorndike within the Carnegie-funded Internation…
God, Chance and Purpose: Can God Have It Both Ways
God, Chance and Purpose: Can God Have It Both Ways?
Scientific accounts of existence give chance a central role. At the smallest level, quantum theory involves uncertainty and evolution is driven by chance and necessity. These ideas do not fit easily with theology in which chance has been seen as the enemy of purpose. One option is to argue, as proponents of Intelligent Design do, that chance is not real and can be replaced by the work of a Designer. Others adhere to a deterministic theology in wh…
The Goodness of Fit of Latent Trait Models in Attitude Measurement
The logit latent trait model offers a promising means of constructing attitude scales in sociology. The adequacy of such scales depends on the appropriateness of the model on which they are based. This article shows that the standard goodness-of-fit tests, based on chi-square distributions, are often invalid. It proposes an alternative approach based on Monte Carlo methods and residuals that has the additional merit of showing how the set of item…

Properties of a Latent Trait Reliability Coefficient
This article takes as its point of departure a coefficient for gauging the reliability of composites based on a fitting of a logit model with normal prior to dichotomous items pertaining to social attitudes (abortion) and/or life feelings (alienation). The effect of item locations on that coefficient relative to that of item slopes is analyzed by means of simulated data. The sampling variation to which that coefficient is subject is investigated …
Reliability of Attitude Scores Based on a Latent Trait Model
In this paper we present a coefficient for measuring the reliability of scores based on a fitting of a logit model with normal prior to k dichotomous items, and we consider methods of estimating the constituent terms on which that coefficient rests. We organize numerical examples around five topics: (1) the reliability of individual items, (2) reliability and goodness of fit, (3) scale differences in reliability within and between samples, (4) th…

Mathematical Models in Social Science
Continuous time diffusion models with random duration of interest
This paper proposes a continuous time version of a diffusion model introduced by Gray and von Broembsen (1974). The new formulation allows a deeper analysis of the stochastic aspects, of the diffusion process and, in particular, of the threshold effect which occurs in the absence of an outside transmitting source. Attention is drawn to important similarities and differences between the stochastic and the deterministic versions of the model. Simpl…
