About this ebook

 This is the first e-book that presents some insights into the construction of Mokken scales with complex survey data, and, in particular, the estimation of Mokken's scalability coefficients - Hij, Hi, and H - with binary responses.

Every day, researchers work with complex samples selected from finite populations of interest to make inferences about population parameters. However, in many situations  these samples are assumed as SRS samples. Serious consequences have been reported in the complex survey data literature; when this assumption  is considered.

I invite you to find out  a little more about some relevant contributions  to the development of the Psychometry under complex sampling designs, as highlighted in this e-book.
