Exploring how to use key multivariate methods in the social sciences, this book contains three chapters on regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models, and multilevel models. It presents various examples of real-world applications and establishes an approach to latent variable modeling.

Do miracles happen? Is the Bible true? What about the paranormal? Does God exist? The underpinning of belief have crumbled in a world where science sets the standard of what is true, people continue to ask these questions but there are no agreed upon answers. At the rational level, uncertainty is inevitable. Probability theory provides the tools for measuring and combining uncertainties and, thus, the key to progress. Assessing the state of th...

Measurement is the cornerstone of science. Insofar as social science aims to be scientific it, too, must take measurement seriously. Yet measurement has not yet established for itself a central role in the teaching of social science. With the literature on social measurement scattered across disciplinary boundaries, this collection provides a unique resource for researchers and libraries. It brings together over 60 key articles from the fiel...

The 8th International Conference on Basement Tectonics was held in Butte, Montana, August 8-12, 1988. Historically, basement tectonics conferences have focused on such topics as reactivation of faults, the influence of basement faults on metallogeny and hyrocarbon accumulation, and the use of geophysical and remote sensing techniques to interpret subsurface and surface geology. The 8th Conference diverged from past conferences in that a unifyi...

In Hearing the Old Testament world-class scholars discuss how contemporary Christians can better hear and appropriate God's address in the Old Testament. This volume is part of a growing interest in theological interpretation of the Old Testament. Editors Craig G. Bartholomew and David J. H. Beldman offer a coherent and carefully planned volume, a truly dialogical collaboration full of up-to-date research and innovative ideas. While sharing a ...

Latent Variable Models and Factor Analysis: A Unified Approach, 3rd Edition David J. Bartholomew, Martin Knott and Irini Moustaki London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 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,...

Multivariate analysis is an important tool in the social sciences, but it can be technical for those with a limited statistical background. Requiring minimal statistical knowledge, Analysis of Multivariate Social Science Data provides an accessible introduction to multivariate data analysis for the social sciences. This second edition features additional material on confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and multilevel mod...

¿The classical statistical problem typically involves a probability distribution which depends on a number of unknown parameters. The form of the distribution may be known, partially or completely, and inferences have to be made on the basis of a sample of observations drawn from the distribution, often, but not necessarily, a random sample. This brief deals with problems where some of the sample members are either unobserved or hypothetical, ...
