It presents the foundations, methods, and models of CFA and features numerous empirical data examples from a range of disciplines that can be reproduced by the readers. It also addresses computer applications, including relevant R packages and modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfigural frequency analysis is a statistical method that allows the processing of important and interesting questions in categorical data. The perspective of CFA differs from the usual perspective of relations among variables; its focus is on patterns of variable categories that stand out with respect to specific hypotheses, and as such, CFA allows for testing numerous substantive hypotheses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book describes the origins of CFA and their relation to chi-square analysis as well as the developments that are based on log-linear modeling.The models covered range from simple models of variable independence to complex models that are needed when causal hypotheses are tested. Empirical data examples are provided for each model. New models are introduced for person-oriented mediation analysis and locally optimized time series analysis, and new results concerning the characteristics of CFA methods are bolstered using Monte Carlo simulations.\u003c\/p\u003ePrimarily intended for researchers and students in the social and behavioral sciences, the book will also appeal to anyone who deals with categorical data from a person-centered perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-01-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662640074\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-64008-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 393\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481775435916,"sku":"9783662640074","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662640074.jpg?v=1775739413","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662640074","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
