The course, “Practical Rasch Measurement - Further Topics”,
introduces exciting new topics and delves into earlier topics more deeply.
Meaningful findings always require careful screening of data, and may require
judicious data selection and editing. Even the most profound findings are
ignored by decision-makers unless they are presented clearly, powerfully and
briefly. In accord with these precepts, you are guided toward successfully
analyzing data and communicating your findings. Dr. Everett V. Smith, Jr will offer his online course "Practical
Rasch Measurement - Further Topics," at statistics.com. For more
