xxi, 308p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781466568495.

This book presents special statistical methods for
analyzing data collected by questionnaires. The book
takes an applied approach to testing and measurement
tasks, mirroring the growing use of statistical methods
and software in education, psychology, sociology, and
other fields. It covers the foundations of classical test
theory (CTT), test reliability, validity, and scaling as
well as item response theory (IRT) fundamentals and IRT
for dichotomous and polytomous items. The authors explore
the latest IRT extensions, such as IRT models with
covariates, multidimensional IRT models, IRT models for
hierarchical and longitudinal data, and latent class IRT
models. They also describe estimation methods and
diagnostics, including graphical diagnostic tools,
parametric and nonparametric tests, and differential item
functioning.

4 Laurent, Eloi
Measuring tomorrow : accounting for well-being,
resilience, and sustainability in the twenty-first
century / Eloi Laurent.-- Princeton: Princeton University

xiii, 219p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9780691170695.
330.015195 LAU 146894
In this book, the author argues that we need to move away
from narrowly useful metrics such as gross domestic
product and instead use broader ones that aim at well-
being, resilience, and sustainability. He begins by
taking stock of the booming field of well-being and
sustainability indicators, and explains the insights that
the best of these can offer. He then shows how these
indicators can be used to develop new policies, from the
local to the global.

132p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781138219182.

By contrasting two specific performances on the same
theme - one an -immersive- experience and the other a
more conventional theatrical production - the author
explores the ways in which theatrical form impacts upon
actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work
-Pinjare- (Cages) sets out the -hows- and -whys- of her
specific aesthetic framework. This book places her
practical work within the context of existing analyses of
Immersive Theatre, using this investigation to generate
an underpinning theory of how Immersive Theatre works for
its participants.
