Psychological measurement and nonparametric methods

Nonparametric Appropriateness Measurement

response theory modeling is affected by the reliability of the items, the test length, the type of aberrant response behavior, and the percentage of aberrant persons in the group. The percentage of simulees defined a priori as aberrant responders that were detected increased when the mean item reliability, the test length, and the ratio of aberrant to nonaberrant simulees in the group increased...

Applied Nonparametric Methods

Introduction to NonParametric Methods

Nonparametric Bayesian Methods

. Most of this book emphasizes frequentist methods, especially for nonparametric problems. However, there are Bayesian approaches to many nonparametric problems. In this chapter we present some of the most commonly used nonparametric Bayesian methods. These methods place priors on infinite dimensional spaces. The priors are based on certain stochastic processes called Dirichlet processes and Ga...

Nonparametric Methods in Reliability.

Probabilistic and statistical models for the occurrence of a recurrent event over time are described. These models have applicability in the reliability, engineering, biomedical and other areas where a series of events occurs for an experimental unit as time progresses. Nonparametric inference methods, in particular, the estimation of a relevant distribution function, are described.
