Opis

This text provides an up-to-the-minute comprehensive introduction to the methods, models and applications of configural frequency analysis. The book presents a formal yet accessible description of all methods and models, and uses actual empirical data examples to illustrate the key concepts.

Recenzje

"The text provides a most comprehensive complete overview of approaches, ideas and techniques."
—Short Book Reviews

"This book provides both introductory and advanced material on CFA....the strengths...include the careful, clear, and accurate exposition of ideas of CFA and the large number of clear examples....I would definitely consider it for adoption as a supplemental course text...and recommend it to any investigators who wish to use CFA."
—Michael J. Rovine
Pennsylvania State University

"...both applied researchers and statisticians interested in CFA will find it a very valuable resource....Typically the raw frequencies are presented which is extremely helpful because readers will be able to reanalyze all the examples and verify the results given in the text...it uses interesting real data examples to illustrate the CFA models and explains how substantive conclusions can be drawn from applications of these models....Readers should have an easy time analyzing their own data with CFA."
—Christof Schuster
University of Notre Dame
