Kang, Jong Hoa – 1979
The problem of forecasting monthly demands for library network services is considered in terms of using forecasts as inputs to policy analysis models, and in terms of using forecasts to aid in the making of budgeting and staffing decisions. Box-Jenkins time-series methodology, adaptive filtering, and regression approaches are examined and compared…

Peer reviewedBrown, Pauline – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1980
The average citation per article in chemistry by age of citation is related to the Poisson frequency distribution. This provides a formula for calculation of a half-life for chemistry which depends on the structure of the research front exhibited in the literature. (Author/FM)

Peer reviewedTravica, Bob – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1998
Discussion of changes in organizational environments focuses on nonbureaucratic, or nontraditional, organizations, and the role of information technology. A model of a nontraditional organizational design is described and results of a pilot study of the role of information technology in nontraditional organizations are presented. Contains 114…

Peer reviewedRouse, William B.; Smith, J. MacGregor – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
Activities within a library are combined with the library's floor plan to develop a model of the library as a network of queues. This model can be used to predict average patron processing times and costs as they are affected by demand characteristics and floor plan variations. (Author/FM)

Peer reviewedMcGrath, William E. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
Two methods are presented by which the librarian can forecast book circulation by subject. The shelflist model treats the number of library books as a control variable, while the other defines the dependent variable as the proportion of the shelflist circulated. (FM)

Burnett, Robert W. – 1978
This report presents results of the assessment of economic impacts of a year-round school (YRS) program as it operated in one junior high school and its four feeder elementary schools. Chapter 2 presents the theoretical background of the cost model and Chapter 3 details the model itself. Chapter 4 is the application of the model to the particular…

Cantrell, Catherine E. – 1997
This paper discusses the limitations of Classical Test Theory, the purpose of Item Response Theory/Latent Trait Measurement models, and the step-by-step calculations in the Rasch measurement model. The paper explains how Item Response Theory (IRT) transforms person abilities and item difficulties into the same metric for test-independent and…

Wright, Benjamin D.; Stone, Mark H. – 1979
This handbook explains how to do Rasch measurement. The emphasis is on practice, but theoretical explanations are also provided. The Forward contains an introduction to the topic of Rasch measurement. Chapters 2, 4, 5, and 7 use a small problem to illustrate the application of Rasch measurement in detail, and methodological issues are considered…
