California-Los Angeles) explains the psychometric method that is
increasingly being used for contemporary psychological tests. Their
treatment would be especially useful to psychologists and social
scientists familiar with small-scale cognitive and personality

News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) This book develops an
intuitive understanding of IRT principles through the use of
graphical displays and analogies to familiar psychological
principles. It surveys contemporary IRT models, estimation methods,

principles through the use of graphical displays and analogies to
psychological principles. The
