Psychometrics An Introduction

Determining the number of factors. An introduction to psychometric theory with applications in R An OverviewThis page is devoted to teaching others about psychometric theory as well as R. It consists of chapters of an in progress text as well as various short courses on R.The e-book is a work in progress. Chapters will appear sporadically. Parts of it are from the draft of a book being prepared for the Springer series on using R, other parts are just interesting tid-bits that would not be appropriate as chapters.It is written in the hope that I can instill in a new generation of psychologists the love for quantitative methodology imparted to me by reading the popular and then later the scientific texts of Ray Cattell Cattell, 1966b and Hans Eysenck Eysenck, 1964, Eysenck, 1953, Eysenck, 1965.

Those Penguin and Pelican paperbacks by Cattell and Eysenck were the first indications that I had that it was possible to study personality and psychology with a quantitative approach.My, on which much of this book is based, was inspired by a course of the same name by Warren Norman. The organizational structure of this text owes a great deal to the structure of Warren's course. Warren introduced me, as well as a generation of graduate students at the University of Michigan, to the role of theory and measurement in the study of psychology. He introduced to me to the 'bible' of psychometrics: Jum Nunnally's Psychometric Theory Nunnally, 1967.The students in my psychometric theory classes over the years, by their continuing questions and sometimes confusion, have given me the motivation to try to make this text as understandable and useful as I can.
