A Calculus of Ideas: A Mathematical
Study of Human Thought

Ulf Grenander
This monograph reports a thought experiment with a mathematical structure
intended to illustrate the workings of a mind. It presents a mathematical theory of
human thought based on pattern theory with a graph-based approach to thinking.
The method illustrated and produced by extensive computer simulations is related
to neural networks. Based mainly on introspection, it is speculative rather than
empirical such that it differs radically in attitude from the conventional wisdom of
current cognitive science.

Richard J. Harris
Drawing upon more than 30 years of experience in working with statistics, Dr.
Richard J. Harris has updated A Primer of Multivariate Statistics to provide a model
of balance between how-to and why. This classic text covers multivariate
techniques with a taste of latent variable approaches. Throughout the book there is
a focus on the importance of describing and testing one's interpretations of the
emergent variables that are produced by multivariate analysis. This edition retains its
conversational writing style while focusing on classical techniques. The book gives
the reader a feel for why one should consider diving into more detailed treatments of
computer-modeling and latent-variable techniques, such as non-recursive path
analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and hierarchical linear modeling. Throughout
the book there is a focus on the importance of describing and testing one's
interpretations of the emergent variables that are produced by multivariate analysis.

Lawrence J. Hubert
For disciplines concerned with human well-being, such as medicine, psychology,
and law, statistics must be used in accordance with standards for ethical practice. A
Statistical Guide for the Ethically Perplexed illustrates the proper use of probabilistic
and statistical reasoning in the behavioral, social, and biomedical sciences.
Designed to be consulted when learning formal statistical techniques, the text
describes common instances of both correct and false statistical and probabilistic
reasoning.
Lauded for their contributions to statistics, psychology, and psychometrics, the
authors make statistical methods relevant to readers’ day-to-day lives by including
real historical situations that demonstrate the role of statistics in reasoning and
decision making. The historical vignettes encompass the English case of Sally Clark,
breast cancer screening, risk and gambling, the Federal Rules of Evidence, "high-
stakes" testing, regulatory issues in medicine, difficulties with observational studies,
ethics in human experiments, health statistics, and much more. In addition to these

This volume deals with a number of related issues that are becoming increasingly
crucial for English studies during this time when most faculty in the field are assistant
professors approaching tenure review or associate professors seeking promotion.
These critical issues focus on:
The diversity of research and scholarly publication in composition studies;
The fact that composition studies faculty are often evaluated by personnel
committee members, department chairs, and deans unfamiliar with the nature
and demands of the field;
The way that American higher education is rethinking "scholarship" and the role it
plays in the work and evaluation of faculty members; and
The role composition studies faculty can play in this review of scholarship and
professional advancement.

Alexander von Eye
Using real-world data examples, this authoritative book shows how to use the latest
configural frequency analysis (CFA) techniques to analyze categorical data. Some of
the techniques are presented here for the first time. In contrast to such methods as
log-linear modeling, which focus on relationships among variables, CFA allows
researchers to evaluate differences and change at the level of individual cells in a
table. Illustrated are ways to identify and test for cell configurations that are either
consistent with or contrary to hypothesized patterns (the types and antitypes of
CFA); control for potential covariates that might influence observed results; develop
innovative prediction models; address questions of moderation and mediation; and
analyze intensive longitudinal data. The book also describes free software
applications for executing CFA.
This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in psychology,
education, management, public health, sociology, and other social, behavioral, and
health science disciplines.

Joachim Horvath
Experimental philosophy is one of the most recent and controversial developments
in philosophy. Its basic idea is rather simple: to test philosophical thought
experiments and philosophers' intuitions about them with scientific methods, mostly
taken from psychology and the social sciences. The ensuing experimental results,
such as the cultural relativity of certain philosophical intuitions, has engaged -- and
at times infuriated -- many more traditionally minded "armchair" philosophers since
then. In this volume, the metaphilosophical reflection on experimental philosophy is
brought yet another step forward by engaging some of its most renowned
proponents and critics in a lively and controversial debate. In addition to that, the
volume also contains original experimental research on personal identity and
philosophical temperament, as well as state-of-the-art essays on central
metaphilosophical issues, like thought experiments, the nature of intuitions, or the
status of philosophical expertise. This book was originally published as a special

This unique text provides a broad introduction to qualitative analysis together with
concrete demonstrations and comparisons of five major approaches. Leading
scholars apply their respective analytic lenses to a narrative account and interview
featuring "Teresa," a young opera singer who experienced a career-changing illness.
The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The
researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches;
their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the
individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting
qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each
analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant,
"Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book.
This book will be important reading for graduate students, instructors, and
researchers in psychology, education, social work, family studies and human
development, sociology, and nursing.

Handbook of Web Surveys presents a self-contained guide to methodological
issues related to web surveys, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of the
topic. The book first approaches the subject of web survey design, addressing the
main question: How can an electronic questionnaire be designed such that
respondents can complete it on the Internet without introducing (too many) errors?
The second portion of the book is devoted to sampling issues and helping readers
understanding how proper samples for web surveys can be selected to allow for
unbiased estimation of population characteristics. The authors also explore the
topics of under-coverage, self-selection, adjustment weighting, and propensity
scores as they pertain to effective web survey development. Each chapter follows
the same easy-to-follow format. Following an introduction, a description of theory is
presented along with key formulae. Next, the discussed theory is applied to a real
data set and accompanied with illustrative descriptions. Example sets and exercises
are spread throughout each chapter, and a summary provides a brief overview of
main points and concepts.

The decision to implement environmental protection options is a political one. These,
and other political and social decisions affect the balance of the ecosystem and how
the point of equilibrium desired is to be reached. This book develops a stochastic,
temporal model of how political processes influence and are influenced by
ecosystem processes and looks at how to find the most politically feasible plan for
managing an at-risk ecosystem. Finding such a plan is accomplished by first fitting a
mechanistic political and ecological model to a data set composed of observations
on both political actions that impact an ecosystem and variables that describe the
ecosystem. The parameters of this fitted model are perturbed just enough to cause
human behaviour to change so that desired ecosystem states occur. This perturbed
model gives the ecosystem management plan needed to reach desired ecosystem
states. To construct such a set of interacting models, topics from political science,
ecology, probability, and statistics are developed and explored. Key features:
Explores politically feasible ways to manage at-risk ecosystems. Gives agent-based
models of how social groups affect ecosystems through time.

High response rates have traditionally been considered as one of the main indicators
of survey quality. Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and
expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is
becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a
higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias. In this book the
authors argue that high response rates should not be seen as a goal in themselves,
but rather as part of an overall survey quality strategy based on random probability
sampling and aimed at minimising nonresponse bias.
Key features of Improving Survey Response:
 A detailed coverage of nonresponse issues, including a unique examination of
cross-national survey nonresponse processes and outcomes.
 A discussion of the potential causes of nonresponse and practical strategies to
combat it.
 A detailed examination of the impact of nonresponse and of techniques for
adjusting for it once it has occurred.

Making Sense of Statistical Methods in Social Research is a critical introduction to
the use of statistical methods in social research. It provides a unique approach to
statistics that concentrates on helping social researchers think about the conceptual
basis for the statistical methods they're using. Whereas other statistical methods
books instruct students in how to get through the statistics-based elements of their
chosen course with as little mathematical knowledge as possible, this book aims to
improve students' statistical literacy, with the ultimate goal of turning them into
competent researchers. "Making Sense of Statistical Methods in Social Research"
contains careful discussion of the conceptual foundation of statistical methods,
specifying what questions they can, or cannot, answer. The logic of each statistical
method or procedure is explained, drawing on the historical development of the
method, existing publications that apply the method, and methodological
discussions. Statistical techniques and procedures are presented not for the
purpose of showing how to produce statistics with certain software packages, but
as a way of illuminating the underlying logic behind the symbols.

Sample surveys provide data used by researchers in a large range of disciplines to
analyze important relationships using well-established and widely used likelihood
methods. The methods used to select samples often result in the sample differing in
important ways from the target population and standard application of likelihood
methods can lead to biased and inefficient estimates. Maximum Likelihood
Estimation for Sample Surveys presents an overview of likelihood methods for the
analysis of sample survey data that account for the selection methods used, and
includes all necessary background material on likelihood inference. It covers a range
of data types, including multilevel data, and is illustrated by many worked examples
using tractable and widely used models. It also discusses more advanced topics,
such as combining data, non-response, and informative sampling. The book
presents and develops a likelihood approach for fitting models to sample survey
data. It explores and explains how the approach works in tractable though widely

Models in Statistical Social Research provides a comprehensive insight of models
used in statistical social research based on statistical data and methods. While
traditionally understood statistical models relate to data generating processes which
presuppose facts, this book focuses on analytical models which relate to substantial
processes generating social facts. It formally develops individual-level, population-
level, and multilevel versions of such models and uses these models as frameworks
for the definition of notions of functional causality. The book further develops a
distinction between the representation of states and events, which is then used to
formally distinguish between comparative and dynamic notions of causality. It is
shown that, due to the involvement of human actors in substantial processes
considered in social research, the conceptual framework of randomized experiments
is of only limited use. Instead, modelling selection processes should become an
explicit task of social research.

Designed for a two-semester, introductory course for graduate students in the social

Categorical data are quantified as either nominal variables--distinguishing different
groups, for example, based on socio-economic status, education, and political
persuasion--or ordinal variables--distinguishing levels of interest, such as the
preferred politician or the preferred type of punishment for committing burglary. This
new book is a collection of up-to-date studies on modern categorical data analysis
methods, emphasizing their application to relevant and interesting data sets. This
volume concentrates on latent class analysis and item response theory. These
methods use latent variables to explain the relationships among observed
categorical variables. Latent class analysis yields the classification of a group of
respondents according to their pattern of scores on the categorical variables. This
provides insight into the mechanisms producing the data and allows the estimation
of factor structures and regression models conditional on the latent class structure.
Item response theory leads to the identification of one or more ordinal or interval
scales. In psychological and educational testing these scales are used for individual
measurement of abilities and personality traits.

This engaging text takes an evenhanded approach to major theoretical paradigms in
evaluation and builds a bridge from them to evaluation practice. Featuring helpful
checklists, procedural steps, provocative questions that invite readers to explore
their own theoretical assumptions, and practical exercises, the book provides
concrete guidance for conducting large- and small-scale evaluations. Numerous
sample studies – many with reflective commentary from the evaluators – reveal the
process through which an evaluator incorporates a paradigm into an actual research
project. The book shows how theory informs methodological choices (the specifics
of planning, implementing, and using evaluations). It offers balanced coverage of
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches.
Useful pedagogical features include:
Examples of large- and small-scale evaluations from multiple disciplines
Beginning-of-chapter reflection questions that set the stage for the material

This research volume serves as a comprehensive resource for psychophysiological
research on media responses. It addresses the theoretical underpinnings,
methodological techniques, and most recent research in this area. It goes beyond
current volumes by placing the research techniques within a context of
communication processes and effects as a field, and demonstrating how the real-
time measurement of physiological responses enhances and complements more
traditional measures of psychological effects from media. This volume introduces
readers to the theoretical assumptions of psychophysiology as well as the
operational details of collecting psychophysiological data. In addition to discussing
specific measures, it includes brief reviews of recent experiments that have used
psychophysiological measures to study how the brain processes media. It will serve
as a valuable reference for media researchers utilizing these methodologies, or for
other researchers needing to understand the theories, history, and methods of
psychophysiological research.

Roisin Ryan-Flood
Feminist research is informed by a history of breaking silences, of demanding that
women's voices be heard, recorded and included in wider intellectual genealogies
and histories. This has led to an emphasis on voice and speaking out in the research
endeavour. Moments of secrecy and silence are less often addressed. This gives
rise to a number of questions. What are the silences, secrets, omissions and and
political consequences of such moments? What particular dilemmas and
constraints do they represent or entail? What are their implications for research
praxis? Are such moments always indicative of voicelessness or powerlessness? Or
may they also constitute a productive moment in the research encounter?
Contributors to this volume were invited to reflect on these questions. The resulting
chapters are a fascinating collection of insights into the research process, making an
important contribution to theoretical and empirical debates about epistemology,
subjectivity and identity in research. Researchers often face difficult dilemmas about
who to represent and how, what to omit and what to include.

Measurement bias is examined from a general latent variable perspective so as to
accommodate different forms of testing in a variety of contexts including cognitive or
clinical variables, attitudes, personality dimensions, or emotional states.
Measurement models that underlie psychometric practice are described, including
their strengths and limitations. Practical strategies and examples for dealing with
bias detection are provided throughout. The book begins with an introduction to the
general topic, followed by a review of the measurement models used in
psychometric theory. Emphasis is placed on latent variable models, with
introductions to classical test theory, factor analysis, and item response theory, and

Contemporary public life in Britain would be unthinkable without the use of statistics
and statistical reasoning. Numbers dominate political discussion, facilitating debate
while also attracting criticism on the grounds of their veracity and utility. However,
the historical role and place of statistics within Britain’s public sphere has yet to
receive the attention it deserves. There exist numerous histories of both modern
statistical reasoning and the modern public sphere; but to date, there are no works
which, quite pointedly, aim to analyse the historical entanglement of the two.
Statistics and the Public Sphere: Numbers and the People in Modern Britain, c.1800
-2000 directly addresses this neglected area of historiography, and in so doing
places the present in some much needed historical perspective.
