Well-informed psychometrics textbooks do not appear with clockwork regularity. Despite the importance of psychometric techniques to a wide variety of scientific disciplines and societal applications, many existing treatments are either too difficult for an introductory purpose or too superficial to support a full course on psychometrics.Given this situation, the appearance of Patrick Mair’s Psychometrics with R is a breath of fresh air in the landscape of psychometrics teaching. The book provides a mostly accessible treatment of a wide variety of techniques that are relevant to psychometrics, and illustrates these by means of analytic examples that are supported by freely downloadable R-code.
