Measure Integral & Probability is a gentle introduction that makes measure & integration theory accessible to the average third-year undergraduate student The ideas are developed at an easy pace in a form that is suitable for self-study with an emphasis on clear explanations & concrete examples rather than abstract theory For this second edition the text has been thoroughly revised & expanded New features include a substantial new chapter featuring a constructive proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem an analysis of the structure of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures the Hahn-Jordan decomposition & a brief introduction to martingales key aspects of financial modelling including the Black-Scholes formula discussed briefly from a measure-theoretical perspective to help the reader understand the underlying mathematical framework In addition further exercises & examples are provided to encourage the reader to become directly involved with the material ...

This book helps readers apply testing & measurement theories Featuring 22 self-standing modules instructors can pick & choose the ones that are most appropriate for their course Each module features an overview of a measurement issue & a step-by-step application of that theory Best practices provide recommendations for ensuring the appropriate application of the theory Practical questions help students assess their understanding of the topic while the examples allow them to apply the material using real data Two cases in each module depict typical dilemmas faced when applying measurement theory followed by Questions to Ponder to encourage critical examination of the issues noted in the cases Each module contains exercises some of which require no computer access while others involve the use of SPSS to solve the problem The book's website houses the accompanying data sets & more The book also features suggested readings a glossary of the key terms & a continuing exercise that incorporates many of the steps in the development of a measure of typical performance Updated throughout to reflect recent changes in the field the new edition also features --A new co-author Michael Zickar who updated the advanced topics & added the new module on generalizability theory (Module 22) -Expanded coverage of reliability (Modules 5 & 6) & exploratory & confirmatory factor analysis (Modules 18 & 19) to help readers interpret results presented in journal articles -Expanded Web Resources Instructors will now find suggested answers to the book's questions & exercises; detailed worked solutions to the exercises; & Power Point slides Students & instructors can access the SPSS data sets; additional exercises; the glossary; & website references that are helpful in understanding psychometric concepts Part 1 provides an introduction to measurement theory & specs for scaling & testing & a review of statistics Part 2 then progresses through practical issues related to text reliability validation meta-analysis & bias Part 3 reviews practical issues related to text construction such as the development of measures of maximal performance CTT item analysis test scoring developing measures of typical performance & issues related to response styles & guessing The book concludes with advanced topics such as multiple regression exploratory & confirmatory factor analysis item response theory (IRT) IRT applications including computer adaptive testing & differential item functioning & generalizability theory Ideal as a text for any psychometrics testing & measurement or multivariate statistics course taught in psychology education marketing & management professional researchers in need of a quick refresher on applying measurement theory will also find this an invaluable reference ...

Measurement is a fundamental concept that underpins almost every aspect of the modern world It is central to the sciences social sciences medicine & economics but it affects everyday life We measure everything
- from the distance of far-off galaxies to the temperature of the air levels of risk political majorities taxes blood pressure IQ & weight The history of measurement goes back to the ancient world & its story has been one of gradual standardization Today there are different types of measurement levels of accuracy & systems of units applied in different contexts Measurement involves notions of variability accuracy reliability & error & challenges such as the measurement of extreme values In this Very Short Introduction David Hand explains the common mathematical framework underlying all measurement the main approaches to measurement & the challenges involved Following a brief historical account of measurement he discusses measurement as used in the physical sciences & engineering the life sciences & medicine the social & behavioural sciences economics business & public policy ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable

This hands-on guide is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences & engineering It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics It introduces the necessary concepts where needed with key points illustrated with worked examples & graphic illustrations In contrast to traditional mathematical treatments it uses a combination of spreadsheet & calculus-based approaches suitable as a quick & easy on-the-spot reference The emphasis throughout is on practical strategies to be adopted in the laboratory Error analysis is introduced at a level accessible to school leavers & carried through to research level Error calculation & propagation is presented though a series of rules-of-thumb look-up tables & approaches amenable to computer analysis The general approach uses the chi-square statistic extensively Particular attention is given to hypothesis testing & extraction of parameters & their uncertainties by fitting mathematical models to experimental data Routines implemented by most contemporary data analysis packages are analysed & explained The book finishes with a discussion of advanced fitting strategies & an introduction to Bayesian analysis ...

Measuring Behaviour has established itself as a standard text Largely rewritten updated & reorganised this third edition is as before a guide to the principles & methods of quantitative studies of behaviour with an emphasis on techniques of observation recording & analysis It provides the basic knowledge needed to measure behaviour doing so in a succinct & easily understood form The sections on research design & the interpretation & presentation of data have been greatly expanded Written with brevity & clarity Measuring Behaviour is above all a practical guide book Aimed primarily at undergraduate & graduate students in biology & psychology who are about to embark upon quantitative studies of animal & human behaviour this book provides a concise review of methodology that will be of great value to scientists of all disciplines in which behaviour is measured including biological anthropology the social sciences & medicine ...
