Top researchers in the field present the books four main topics: visualization, correspondence analysis, biplots and multidimensional scaling, and contingency table models. This volume discusses how surveys, which are employed in many different research areas, generate categorical data. It will be of great interest to anyone involved in collecting or analyzing categorical data. * Correspondence Analysis * Homogeneity Analysis * Loglinear and Association Models * Latent Class Analysis * Multidimensional Scaling * Cluster Analysis * Ideal Point Discriminant Analysis * CHAID * Formal Concept Analysis * Graphical Models
A new, illustrated study of the Iliac tablets, a group of objects inscribed in miniature with epic episodes. Like the tablets themselves, Michael Squire tackles major themes through small ones, by relating their production to macroscopic problems of signification in Graeco-Roman antiquity.
Does your learner need help with reading comprehension? Visualization skills are vital for fast and efficient comprehension. Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension builds this key skill quickly and efficiently. Visualizing is the ability to create mental pictures in our heads based on the text we read or the words we hear. It is one of the key skills required for reading comprehension. Students who visualize as they read not only have a richer reading experience but can recall what they have read for longer periods of time. Moreover, having a strong mental image of a text allows students to more accurately and effectively answer Higher Order Thinking (HOT) questions, such as inferencing, prediction, etc. If your learner struggles with reading comprehension, working on visualization skills should be high on your list of priorities. Visualization Skills for Reading Comprehension provides step-by-step activities to quickly build the ability to visualize information while reading.
