Introduction to latent variable models

Item Response Theory models: models for items (categorical responses) measuring a common latent trait assumed to be continuous (or less often discrete) and typically representing an ability or a psychological attitude; the most important IRT model was proposed by Rasch (1961); typically no covariates are included

Chapter 5 Measures of distance between samples: non …

Measures of distance between samples: non-Euclidean Euclidean distances are special because they conform to our physical concept of distance. But there are many other distance measures which can be defined between multivariate samples. These non-Euclidean distances are of different types: some still satisfy the basic

The goal of these notes is to give an introduction to the subject of group theory, which is a branch of the mathematical area called algebra (or sometimes abstract algebra).
