Marie Wiberg is professor of statistics with a specialty in psychometrics at Umeå University in Sweden. Her research interests include test equating, applied statistics, large scale assessments, and psychometrics in general.
Jeffrey A. Douglas is a professor of statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He conducts research in latent variable analysis with a particular emphasis on item response models and cognitive diagnosis models with applications in educational testing.
IMPS is one of the largest international meetings focusing on quantitative measurement in psychology, education, and the social sciences, both in terms of participants and number of presentations. The meeting built on the Psychometric Society’s mission to share quantitative methods relevant to psychology, addressing a diverse set of psychometric topics including item response theory, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, time series analysis, mediation analysis, cognitive diagnostic models, and multi-level models. Selected presenters were invited to revise and expand their contributions and to have them peer reviewed and published in this proceedings volume.
