New Developments in Psychometrics
Nonlinear principal components analysis
The authors provide a didactic treatment of nonlinear (categorical) principal components analysis (PCA). This method is the nonlinear equivalent of standard PCA and reduces the observed variables to a number of uncorrelated principal components. The most important advantages of nonlinear over linear PCA are that it incorporates nominal and ordinal variables and that it can handle and discover nonlinear relationships between variables. Also, nonli…

The Role of Parents and Peers in the Leisure Activities of Young Adolescents
Up to now, leisure research on the parent-peer orientation of juveniles primarily has focussed on adolescents. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree to which pre-adolescents as well as adolescents associate with parents and peers in their leisure time. Based on recent theoretical conceptions of childhood sociologists, a questionnaire was designed for children and young teens aged ten to fifteen years. A total of 927 Dutch juvenil…
The treatment of categorical information in Physical Anthropology
Applications of multivariate analysis in physical anthropology have been mainly concerned with quantitative variables. We suggest that methods developed by psychometricians for the analysis of categorical (qualitative), possibly ordered, variables may be adopted with profit by anthropologists. PRINCIPALS, a form of principal components analysis using categorical variables, is briefly discussed and illustrated with an analysis of data on 164 skull…
