The book presents statistical methods and models that can usefully support the ev- uation of educational services and quality of products. The contributions collected in this book summarize the work of several researchers from the universities of Bologna, Firenze, Napoli and Padova. The contributions are written with a cons- tent notation and a uni?ed view, and concern methodological advances developed mostly with reference to speci?c problems of evaluation using real data sets. The evaluation of educational services, as well as the analysis of judgements and preferences, poses severe methodological challenges because of the presence of one or more of the following aspects: the observational...
The volume presents new developments in data analysis and classification. Particular attention is devoted to clustering, discrimination, data analysis and statistics, as well as applications in biology, finance and social sciences. The reader will find theory and algorithms on recent technical and methodological developments and many application papers showing the empirical usefulness of the newly developed solutions.
This book focuses on methods and models in classification and data analysis and presents real-world applications at the interface with data science. Numerous topics are covered, ranging from statistical inference and modelling to clustering and factorial methods, and from directional data analysis to time series analysis and small area estimation. The applications deal with new developments in a variety of fields, including medicine, finance, engineering, marketing, and cyber risk. The contents comprise selected and peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 13th Scientific Meeting of the Classification and Data Analysis Group of the Italian Statistical Society, CLADAG 2021, held (online) in Florence, Italy, on September 9–11, 2021. CLADAG promotes advanced methodological research in multivariate statistics with a special focus on data analysis and classification, and supports the exchange and dissemination of ideas, methodological concepts, numerical methods, algorithms, and computational and applied results at the interface between classification and data science.
The 78th Annual Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS) builds on the Psychometric Society's mission to share quantitative methods relevant to psychology. The chapters of this volume present cutting-edge work in the field. Topics include studies of item response theory, computerized adaptive testing, cognitive diagnostic modeling, and psychological scaling. Additional psychometric topics relate to structural equation modeling, factor analysis, causal modeling, mediation, missing data methods, and longitudinal data analysis, among others. The papers in this volume will be especially useful for researchers in the social sciences who use quantitative methods. Prior knowledge of statistical methods is recommended. The 78th annual meeting took place in Arnhem, The Netherlands between July 22nd and 26th, 2013. The previous volume to showcase work from the Psychometric Society’s Meeting is New Developments in Quantitative Psychology: Presentations from the 77th Annual Psychometric Society Meeting (Springer, 2014).
Technology Enhanced Learning is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the field of institutional and home education. Technology Enhanced Learning (TeL) has provided tools and infrastructure to education and training disciplines for over a decade. The papers presented in this volume cover research issues including pedagogical and evaluation theories, integrated learning environments, e-learning experiments, trials and overall results from actual TeL deployment. This state-of-the-art volume contains a compilation of select papers presented during the Technology Enhanced Learning (TeL) workshop co-located with the World Computer Congress, August 2004, in Toulouse, France.
