Although the focus is on simple R code, the book provides updated guidance through the point-and-click menus of BlueSky Statistics software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers all Rasch models frequently used in social sciences, from the Simple Rasch model to the Rating Scale, Partial Credit, and Many-Facets Rasch models. Using a pragmatic approach to model-data fit, this book offers helpful practical examples to investigate Rasch model assumptions. In addition to traditional Rasch model approaches, it introduces the Rasch model as a special case of a Generalized Mixed Effects Model. Readers will also benefit from the online support material which includes all the code used in the book in downloadable and useable files.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also provides a comprehensive guide to R programming and practical guidance on using BlueSky Statistics software''s point-and-click menus. This dual approach enables readers to experiment with data analysis using the provided data sets, enhancing their understanding and application of statistical concepts. It will be a valuable resource for both students and researchers who want to use Rasch models in their research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57196302729598,"sku":"NW9781032619408","price":52.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032619408.jpg?v=1778540250","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/step-by-step-guide-to-applying-the-rasc","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
