Gongchang, Yueban; Wang, Yibing – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2020
Location tracking devices are becoming increasingly popular in practice to study movement of customers or track inventory. However, using location tracking devices in education contexts is quite novel. In this paper, we present a robust Bayesian nonparametric mixture model that clusters location data. We successfully apply this model on location…

Nikolakopoulos, Stavros – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
In narrative synthesis of evidence, it can be the case that the only quantitative measures available concerning the efficacy of an intervention is the direction of the effect, that is, whether it is positive or negative. In such situations, the sign test has been proposed in the literature and in recent Cochrane guidelines as a way to test whether…

Elwert, Felix; Pfeffer, Fabian T. – Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
Conventional advice discourages controlling for postoutcome variables in regression analysis. By contrast, we show that controlling for commonly available postoutcome (i.e., future) values of the treatment variable can help detect, reduce, and even remove omitted variable bias (unobserved confounding). The premise is that the same unobserved…

Doval, Eduardo; Delicado, Pedro – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
We propose new methods for identifying and classifying aberrant response patterns (ARPs) by means of functional data analysis. These methods take the person response function (PRF) of an individual and compare it with the pattern that would correspond to a generic individual of the same ability according to the item-person response surface. ARPs…

Gilraine, Michael; Gu, Jiaying; McMillan, Robert – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020
This paper proposes a new methodology for estimating teacher value-added. Rather than imposing a normality assumption on unobserved teacher quality (as in the standard empirical Bayes approach), our nonparametric estimator permits the underlying distribution to be estimated directly and in a computationally feasible way. The resulting estimates…

McNeish, Daniel – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Some IRT models can be equivalently modeled in alternative frameworks such as logistic regression. Logistic regression can also model time-to-event data, which concerns the probability of an event occurring over time. Using the relation between time-to-event models and logistic regression and the relation between logistic regression and IRT, this…

Thoemmes, Felix; Liao, Wang; Jin, Ze – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
This article describes the analysis of regression-discontinuity designs (RDDs) using the R packages rdd, rdrobust, and rddtools. We discuss similarities and differences between these packages and provide directions on how to use them effectively. We use real data from the Carolina Abecedarian Project to show how an analysis of an RDD can be…

Yorke, Mantz – Tertiary Education and Management, 2017
When analysing course-level data by subgroups based upon some demographic characteristics, the numbers in analytical cells are often too small to allow inferences to be drawn that might help in the enhancement of practices. However, relatively simple analyses can provide useful pointers. This article draws upon a study involving a partnership with…

Suzic, Nenad – Research in Pedagogy, 2017
This paper sets out to tackle the issue of the criteria which should be met prior to submission of papers to indexed scientific journals. Firstly, the author addresses the field of qualitative research and tries to define the general characteristics of such works, and secondly, some clarification is brought with respect to the imbalance between…

Using Curriculum-Based Measurements for Program Evaluation: Expanding Roles for School Psychologists
Tusing, Mary E.; Breikjern, Nicholle A. – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2017
Educators increasingly need to evaluate schoolwide reform efforts; however, complex program evaluations often are not feasible in schools. Through a case example, we provide a heuristic for program evaluation that is easily replicated in schools. Criterion-referenced interpretations of schoolwide screening data were used to evaluate outcomes…
