Dr. Natasha Bowen
OSU Professor of Social Work
Much of the data used by social scientists is ordinal, however, such data are often analyzed as if they are continuous. This presentation will focus on testing the invariance of scales based on ordinal indicators. This is an advanced presentation, geared to students with advanced coursework in measurement and multivariate statistics.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore this special topic of measurement invariance with ordinal variables with Natasha Bowen. Natasha is the Associate Director of the Research Methodology Center and Professor in the OSU College of Social Work.
