Dorie, Vincent; Hill, Jennifer; Shalit, Uri; Scott, Marc; Cervone, Daniel – Grantee Submission, 2018
Statisticians have made great progress in creating methods that reduce our reliance on parametric assumptions. However this explosion in research has resulted in a breadth of inferential strategies that both create opportunities for more reliable inference as well as complicate the choices that an applied researcher has to make and defend.…

Findley, Kelly; Lyford, Alexander – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2019
Researchers have documented many misconceptions students hold about sampling variability. This study takes a different approach--instead of identifying shortcomings, we consider the productive reasoning pieces students construct as they reason about sampling distributions. We interviewed eight undergraduate students newly enrolled in an…

Pustejovsky, James E.; Swan, Daniel M.; English, Kyle W. – Grantee Submission, 2019
There has been growing interest in using statistical methods to analyze data and estimate effect size indices from studies that use single-case designs (SCDs), as a complement to traditional visual inspection methods. The validity of a statistical method rests on whether its assumptions are plausible representations of the process by which the…

Rakhat, Berikbol; Kuralay, Bekbolatova; Akmaral, Smanova; Zhanar, Nebessayeva; Miyat, Dzhanaev – World Journal on Educational Technology: Current Issues, 2021
The aim of this study was to determine the examination of the researches about the use of technology by fine arts teachers. The study was conducted according to the content and citation analysis model. In this context, Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection indexes were included. In the document scanning in the WOS environment, the keywords 'Fine…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
Informally testing the fit of a probability distribution model is educationally a desirable precursor to formal methods for senior secondary school students. Limited research on how to teach such an informal approach, lack of statistically sound criteria to enable drawing of conclusions, as well as New Zealand assessment requirements led to this…

van Dijke-Droogers, Marianne; Drijvers, Paul; Bakker, Arthur – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
While various studies suggest that informal statistical inference (ISI) can be developed by young students, more research is needed to translate this claim into a well-founded learning trajectory (LT). As a contribution, this paper presents the results of a cycle of design research that focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the…

Sinharay, Sandip; Duong, Minh Q.; Wood, Scott W. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
As noted by Fremer and Olson, analysis of answer changes is often used to investigate testing irregularities because the analysis is readily performed and has proven its value in practice. Researchers such as Belov, Sinharay and Johnson, van der Linden and Jeon, van der Linden and Lewis, and Wollack, Cohen, and Eckerly have suggested several…

Kleinke, Kristian – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
Predictive mean matching (PMM) is a standard technique for the imputation of incomplete continuous data. PMM imputes an actual observed value, whose predicted value is among a set of k = 1 values (the so-called donor pool), which are closest to the one predicted for the missing case. PMM is usually better able to preserve the original distribution…

Vandermosten, Maaike; Wouters, Jan; Ghesquière, Pol; Golestani, Narly – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2019
Statistical learning has been proposed to underlie the developmental transition during infancy from allophonic to phonemic speech sound perception. Based on this, it can be hypothesized that in dyslexic individuals, core phonemic representation deficits arise from reduced sensitivity to the statistical distribution of sounds. This study aims to…

Shear, Benjamin R.; Reardon, Sean F. – Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis, 2019
This paper describes a method for pooling grouped, ordered-categorical data across multiple waves to improve small-sample heteroskedastic ordered probit (HETOP) estimates of latent distributional parameters. We illustrate the method with aggregate proficiency data reporting the number of students in schools or districts scoring in each of a small…

Hoyer, Annika; Hirt, Stefan; Kuss, Oliver – Research Synthesis Methods, 2018
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are the cornerstones of evidence-based medicine and inform treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of individual patients as well as policy decisions in health care. Statistical methods for the meta-analysis of intervention studies are well established today. Meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy trials has also…

Green, Samuel; Xu, Yuning; Thompson, Marilyn S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
Parallel analysis (PA) assesses the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. Traditionally PA compares the eigenvalues for a sample correlation matrix with the eigenvalues for correlation matrices for 100 comparison datasets generated such that the variables are independent, but this approach uses the wrong reference distribution. The…

Sinharay, Sandip – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2018
Response-time models are of increasing interest in educational and psychological testing. This article focuses on the lognormal model for response times, which is one of the most popular response-time models, and suggests a simple person-fit statistic for the model. The distribution of the statistic under the null hypothesis of no misfit is proved…

González, Orlando – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
Many studies have reported on the influence of teachers' conceptions of variability on different aspects of their professional knowledge for teaching statistics and their classroom practices. However, research on these kind of conceptions is still scarce, particularly in Latin American countries like Venezuela. In an effort to help fill this gap,…
