Endler Marcel Borges – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An understanding of statistical concepts is necessary for a chemist with a complete education. Here, statistical tests were taught using the R Commander and the Factoshiny packages. These packages run on R software and have a graphical user interface (GUI), which allows students to do statistical tests quickly and easily. These packages were…

Roberto Silva de Souza Jr.; Endler Marcel Borges – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This laboratory experiment was divided into four parts. In the first part, students evaluate previously published data and check their normality using histograms, Q-Q plots, the Shapiro-Wilk test, and boxplots. In the second part, two different groups were compared. First, data normality and homoskedasticity were checked by using the Shapiro-Wilk…

Ravand, Hamdollah; Baghaei, Purya – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2016
Structural equation modeling (SEM) has become widespread in educational and psychological research. Its flexibility in addressing complex theoretical models and the proper treatment of measurement error has made it the model of choice for many researchers in the social sciences. Nevertheless, the model imposes some daunting assumptions and…

Nandakumar, Ratna; Yu, Feng; Zhang, Yanwei – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2011
DETECT is a nonparametric methodology to identify the dimensional structure underlying test data. The associated DETECT index, "D[subscript max]," denotes the degree of multidimensionality in data. Conditional covariances (CCOV) are the building blocks of this index. In specifying population CCOVs, the latent test composite [theta][subscript TT]…

A Comparative Study of Test Data Dimensionality Assessment Procedures Under Nonparametric IRT Models
van Abswoude, Alexandra A. H.; van der Ark, L. Andries; Sijtsma, Klaas – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2004
In this article, an overview of nonparametric item response theory methods for determining the dimensionality of item response data is provided. Four methods were considered: MSP, DETECT, HCA/CCPROX, and DIMTEST. First, the methods were compared theoretically. Second, a simulation study was done to compare the effectiveness of MSP, DETECT, and…

Sawilowsky, Shlomo S. – Review of Educational Research, 1990
Research over the past 15 years concerning parametric and nonparametric statistics and 10 recently developed nonparametric techniques for testing interactions in experimental design are reviewed. The new nonparametric techniques are robust, powerful, versatile, and easy to compute. A fabricated dataset is used to illustrate the technique. (TJH)
