Mokken Scale

Marcia Andrade

Sinopse

This is the first e-book that presents some insights into the construction of Mokken scales with complex survey data, and, in particular, the estimation of Mokken's scalability coefficients - Hij, Hi, and H - with binary responses.
Every day, researchers work with complex samples selected from finite populations of interest to make inferences about population parameters. However, in many situations  these samples are assumed as SRS samples. Serious consequences have been reported in the complex survey data literature; when this assumption  is considered.
I invite you to find out  a little more about some relevant contributions  to the development of the Psychometry under complex sampling designs, as highlighted in this e-book.
Keywords: Mokken scaling, Mokken scale analysis, complex data, Complex Mokken, design effect, clustering, sampling weights, stratification, clustered samples, variance estimation, point estimation, large-scale educational surveys, Jackknife resampling technique, Non Parametric Item Response Theory.

First Order Logic - Fundamentals...

Fouad Sabry

What Is First Order Logic
 
First-order logic is a collection of formal systems that are utilized in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Other names for first-order logic include predicate logic, quantificational logic, and first-order predicate calculus. In first-order logic, quantified variables take precedence over non-logical objects, and the use of sentences that contain variables is permitted. As a result, rather than making assertions like "Socrates is a man," one can make statements of the form "there exists x such that x is Socrates and x is a man," where "there exists" is a quantifier and "x" is a variable. This is in contrast to propositional logic, which does not make use of quantifiers or relations; propositional logic serves as the basis for first-order logic in this sense.
