Journal of Counseling &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Flourishing Scale (FS) scores have demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in general adult populations, but no previous research has validated its use among natural disaster survivors. This study examined the reliability, validity, and measurement invariance of a Mexican dialect Spanish translation of the FS in 289 Mexican ...

A new method for detecting differential item functioning in the Rasch model [PDF]
Differential item functioning (DIF) can lead to an unfair advantage or disadvantage for certain subgroups in educational and psychological testing. Therefore, a variety of statistical methods has been suggested for detecting DIF in the Rasch model.

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Various avenues of transdiagnostic research hold promise for improving diagnosis and treatment but remain fragmented in some ways. We provide recommendations for integrating dimensional assessment guided by the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) framework into clinical practice by more effectively connecting the HiTOP with social‐

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Adélie penguins gather in colonies as standing or prone adults, individual chicks, and chick crèches. From drone images, we distinguish adults and chicks by their plumage, identify adult postures by body shape, and estimate the size of chick groups from the area they occupy. We map these groups and measure how closely penguins live together.

Modelling Missingness with a Rasch-Type model
, 2011 In this paper we focus on a model-based approach to the treatment of missing data due to examinées' nonresponse, in the context of Item Response Theory (IRT). With model-based approach we mean that item nonresponses are to be included in the analysisindeed we assume that nonresponses are caused by a spécifie latent trait, summarizing the response ...

Estimation of Models in a Rasch Family for Polytomous Items and Multiple Latent Variables [PDF]
The Rasch family of models considered in this paper includes models for polytomous items and multiple correlated latent traits, as well as for dichotomous items and a single latent variable. An R package is described that computes estimates of parameters
