The definitive resource for survey questionnaire testing and evaluation Over the past two decades, methods for the development, evaluation, and testing of survey questionnaires have undergone radical change. Research has now begun to identify the strengths and weaknesses of various testing and evaluation methods, as well as to estimate the methods’ reliability and validity. Expanding and adding to…
В книге рассматривается история возникновения планеты Земля и развития на ней жизни. Подробно освещены вопросы энергетического обеспечения жизни, строение биосферы, законы ее существования. Большая часть пособия посвящена рассмотрению конфликта человека с биосферой, особенно обострившегося в конце второго тысячелетия, и пути выхода из него, который заключается в переходе общества к устойчивому раз…
In the evaluation of healthcare, rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish interventions that are both effective and cost-effective. Usually a single study will not fully address these issues and it is desirable to synthesize evidence from multiple sources. This book aims to provide a practical guide to evidence synthesis for the purpose of decision making, starting wi…
A much-needed introduction to the field of discrete-valued time series, with a focus on count-data time series Time series analysis is an essential tool in a wide array of fields, including business, economics, computer science, epidemiology, finance, manufacturing and meteorology, to name just a few. Despite growing interest in discrete-valued time series—especially those arising from counting sp…
