This program entails fundamental and applied research into statistical models for latent variables, such as item response models, latent class models, and linear structural models, but also methods for handling missing data, and detecting outliers and response styles in test en questionnaire data. The department has a strong tradition of working with the other (substantive) research programs in our School.
