Statistika Pendidikan

Aeng Muhidin
2018 · Book · Open Access

Buku teks ini disusun di tengah-tengah kegelisahan penulis tentang kurangnya pemahaman dasar tentang statistika udi bidang ilmu pendidikan di kampus tempat penulis bekerja. Statistika sebagai ilmu bantu dalam ilmu pendidikan berperan bagai pisau untuk menganalisis gejala perilaku belajar; menilai ada atau tidak adanya hubungan dan atau pengaruh satu gejala terhadap gejala lain; menganalisis hasil percobaan perlakuan dalam setting pembelajaran. Pemahaman tentang ilmu statistika adalah dasar bagi para calon guru, mengingat statistika juga mengajarkan tentang bagaimana pengukuran pendidikan harus memenuhi syarat korespondensi, kebenaran yang didukung bukti dari lapangan. Meskipun perangkat lunak pengolah data dan statistik banyak beredar, tetapi masih perlu diajarkan bagiamana jalannya proses perhitungan sehingga mahasiswa dapat mengetahui suatu pengujian hipotesis dapat diberlakukan. Perangkat lunak tidak memberikan kesempatan pemahaman seperti itu. Buku statistik yang lebih rigit juga ada, tetapi tidak bersifat praktis. Pendekatan buku-buku statistik hanya cocok untuk mahasiswa di jurusan matematika atau sekolah tinggi ilmu statistik. Mahasiswa di bidang pendidikan, membutuhkan buku statistik yang praktis, tetapi tidak mereduksi pemahaman proses pengujian. Buku teks Statistika Pendidikan: Step By Step ditulis untuk mengisi ruang kosong yang tidak dapat diisi oleh perangkat pengolah data dan buku statistika yang beredar. Buku ini dapat dianggap sebagai panduan praktis yang mudah dipahami oleh mahasiswa pendidikan. Sebagai bagian dari model pembelajaran berbasis kinerja (outcomes-based learning), buku ini dilengkapi dengan latihan-latihan praktis pengujian hipotesis: korelasi, komparasi, dan regresi, tiga jenis analisis inferensial yang banyak digunakan. Dengan pembelajaran berbasis kinerja melalui tugas terstruktur, dosen akan mampu mewujudkan prinsip mastery learning. Terakhir, tujuan dari penulisan buku ini dan dengan dijadikan buku teks untuk mata kuliah Statistika Pendidikan, juga akan mempermudah mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan skripsi dengan metode penelitian kuantitatif.

Statistical Test Theory for the Behavioral Sciences

Dato N. M. de Gruijter; Leo J. Th. van der Kamp
2018 · Book · Open Access

Since the development of the first intelligence test in the early 20th century, educational and psychological tests have become important measurement techniques to quantify human behavior. Focusing on this ubiquitous yet fruitful area of research, Statistical Test Theory for the Behavioral Sciences provides both a broad overview and a critical survey of assorted testing theories and models used in psychology, education, and other behavioral science fields. Following a logical progression from basic concepts to more advanced topics, the book first explains classical test theory, covering true score, measurement error, and reliability. It then presents generalizability theory, which provides a framework to deal with various aspects of test scores. In addition, the authors discuss the concept of validity in testing, offering a strategy for evidence-based validity. In the two chapters devoted to item response theory (IRT), the book explores item response models, such as the Rasch model, and applications, including computerized adaptive testing (CAT). The last chapter looks at some methods used to equate tests. Equipped with the essential material found in this book, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the behavioral sciences as well as researchers involved in measurement and testing will gain valuable insight into the research methodologies and statistical data analyses of behavioral testing.

Exchange Rates and Economic Fundamentals

Mr. Ronald MacDonald; Mr. Peter B. Clark
2018 · Book · Open Access

This paper compares two approaches for examining the extent to which a country’s actual real effective exchange rate is consistent with economic fundamentals: the FEER approach, which involves calculating the real exchange rate that equates the current account at full employment with sustainable net capital flows, and the BEER approach, which uses econometric methods to establish a behavioral link between the real rate and relevant economic variables. An exchange rate model is estimated for the G-3 currencies to provide illustrative comparisons of BEERs and FEERs.

Storage Networking Protocol Fundamentals

James Long
2018 · Book · Open Access

A comparative analysis of Ethernet, TCP/IP, and Fibre Channel in the context of SCSI Introduces network administrators to the requirements of storage protocols Explains the operation of network protocols to storage administrators Compares and contrasts the functionality of Ethernet, TCP/IP, and Fibre Channel Documents the details of the major protocol suites, explains how they operate, and identifies common misunderstandings References the original standards and specifications so you can get a complete understanding of each protocol Helps you understand the implications of network design choices Discusses advanced network functionality such as QoS, security, management, and protocol analysis Corporations increasingly depend on computer and communication technologies to remain competitive in the global economy. Customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, and e-mail are a few of the many applications that generate new data every day. Effectively storing, managing, and accessing that data is a primary business challenge in the information age. Storage networking is a crucial component of the solution to meet that challenge. Written for both storage administrators who need to learn more about networking and network administrators who need to learn more about storage, Storage Networking Protocol Fundamentals is a concise introduction to storage networking protocols. The book picks up where Storage Networking Fundamentals left off by focusing on the networking protocols that underlie modern open systems: block-oriented storage networks. The first part of the book introduces you to the field of storage networking and the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. The second part compares networked storage technologies, including iSCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface over IP) and Fibre Channel. It also examines in detail each of the major protocol suites layer-by-layer within the OSI reference model. The third part discusses advanced functionalities of these technologies, such as quality of service (QoS), load-balancing functions, security, management, and protocol analysis. You can read this book cover to cover or use it as a reference, directly accessing the particular topics of interest to you. “Storage networking is a critical concept for today’s businesses, and this book provides a unique and helpful way to better understand it. Storage networking is also continuously evolving, and as such this book may be seen as an introduction to the information technology infrastructures of the future.” —from the foreword by Claudio DeSanti, vice-chairman of the ANSI INCITS T11 Technical Committee

Statistics for The Behavioral and Social Sciences: Pearson New International Edition

Arthur Aron; Elliot Coups; Elaine N. Aron
2018 · Book · Open Access

For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods. The fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.

Fundamentals of Behavior Analytic Research

Alan Poling; Laura L. Methot; Mark G. LeSage
2018 · Book · Open Access

By the end of his long life, B. F. Skinner (1904-1990) had become one of the most influential and best known of psychologists (Gilgen, 1982; Heyduke & Fenigstein, 1984). An important feature of the approach to the study of behavior that he championed, behavior analysis, is the intensive study of individual subjects over time. This approach, which is characterized by the use of within-subject experimental designs, repeated and direct measures of behavior, and graphic analysis of data, stands in marked contrast to the research methods favored by many nonbehavioral psychologists. Skinner discussed the advantages of his approach in a number of books (e.g., Skinner, 1938, 1953, 1979), but never devoted a book to methodology. Sidman (1960) and Johnson and Pennypack (1993b) did devote books to behavior analytic research methodology. These books are of excep tionally high quality and should be read carefully by anyone interested in behavior analysis. They are sophisticated, however, and are not easy reads for most neophyte behaviorists. Introductory-level books devoted entirely to methods of applied behavior analysis (e.g., Kazdin, 1982; Barlow & Hersen, 1984) are easier to understand, but somewhat limited in coverage.

Fundamentals of Behavioral Research

William J. Lammers
2018 · Book · Open Access

Offering a very easy-to-follow and practical approach for students who are learning to conduct their own research projects, this engaging text is designed to help students not only master the concepts of the course, but also become critical consumers of everyday research-related information. The authors provide numerous examples from the real world (as well as from many different areas of psychology), actual media reports with critical thinking questions, and case studies that provide insight into how a researcher "thinks through" issues of research design. The wide range of applications involves students and helps them understand how the research tools used in psychological research help satisfy our curiosity about why people think, act, and feel the way they do. The text approaches the topic of research in a very balanced manner, providing an overview of experimental and non-experimental research designs, an overview of the appropriate statistical analyses and a description of how scientific knowledge can be disseminated using APA format.

Fundamentals of Social Statistics

Kirk W. Elifson; Philip Luck
2018 · Book · Open Access

This text provides a complete introduction to a wide variety of statistical techniques frequently used in the social and behavioral sciences. Adapted from the best-selling behavioral science statistics text, Fundamentals of Behavioral Statistics by Runyon and Haber, Elifson's text provides the reader with an general introduction, an overview of descriptive statistics, and complete coverage of inferential statistics. Many examples of real life issues present statistics as part of a larger social reality as opposed to a vacuum; Current topics such as HIV/AIDS, health, gender, race, inequality, and crime make statistics relevant for students. In its third edition, the text features an emphasis on the interpretation of data, particularly computer analysis using SPSS, the leading package for statistical analysis.

Analisis Statistika dengan R

Dedi Rosadi
2018 · Book · Open Access

R merupakan suatu sistem analisis statistika yang relatif lengkap, sebagai hasil dari kolaborasi riset berbagai statistikawan di seluruh belahan dunia. R saat ini dapat dikatakan merupakan lingua franca (bahasa standar) untuk keperluan komputasi statistika modern. Versi paling awal R dibuat tahun 1992 di Universitas Auckland, New Zealand oleh Ross Ihaka dan Robert Gentleman (yang menjadi asal muasal akronim nama R untuk software ini). Saat ini source code kernel R dikembangkan oleh R Development Core Team, sedangkan pengembangan dan kontribusi berupa kode/library, melaporkan error dan bugs dan membuat dokumentasi untuk R, dilakukan oleh masyarakat statistikawan di seluruh penjuru dunia. R bersifat multiplatforms, dengan file instalasi binary/file tar tersedia untuk sistem operasi Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X, Free BSD, NetBSD, Linux, Irix, Solaris, AIX dan HPUX. Sintaks dari bahasa R secara umum ekuivalen dengan software statistika komersil S+. Untuk sebagian besar keperluan analisis statistika, pemrograman dengan R hampir identik dengan pemrograman dengan S+. Buku ini disusun dengan harapan dapat digunakan sebagai buku acuan untuk mengaplikasikan metode statistika dasar di mana dalam komputasinya digunakan perangkat lunak sumber terbuka R. Sejak tahun 2005, beberapa bab versi awal dari buku ini telah digunakan untuk perkuliahan dan kelas praktikum pada mata kuliah Metode Statistika dan Komputasi Statistika; sebagai modul pengantar untuk pengenalan programming di berbagai mata kuliah Jurusan Matematika dan Statistika; ataupun dalam berbagai pelatihan programming dan pengantar analisis statistika dengan R/S+.
