Equating or linking, which calibrate the parameters of two or more tests, are critical to the application of IRT, because they allow for comparisons between test scores. Common item design or common person design is often used for equating. In Multidimensional item response theory model (MIRT), there is a case that both common item design and common person design are available. However, few studies about the equating process corresponding to such a case has not been conducted. The present study proposes the integration of common item and common person criteria and analyzes the characteristics of the method through computer simulations. The results of the simulations reveal the proposed method is effective when one must take both criterion into consideration.

A decline of the voting rate becomes conspicuous in Japan in recent years. There is a movement which tries to improve the governance and increase of political participation through participation to community activity according to Putnam (1993). This paper clarifies empirically the impact of the attitudes and behavior of community residents on the voting behavior. We conducted questionnaire survey toTama-Area Residents in order to examine the effect of the impact of the local political environment on the attitudes and behavior of community residents. Furthermore, we compared the voting behavior with four group's significant difference based on Age groups, on attitudes about local governance. The causal structure is identified by using the multiple group Structural Equation Modeling between four groups.

With the aim of removing human errors and providing critical feedback and suggestions for improvement, considerable research has be done on computer-based automated essay-scoring systems. Examples of these include e-rater, PEG, IEA, IntelliMetric, and BETSY. This paper summarizes how these systems work in an attempt to comprehend their features. They are also compared. An automated Japanese essay-scoring system named Jess is introduced, including our analysis of its performance. Lastly, difficulties caused by its treatment of Japanese passages and related problems are discussed.

The current response rates of mail surveys conducted by Asahi Shimbun are typically above 75 percent. A major contributing factor of these high response rates is the respect that Asahi Shimbun commands. However, the response rates of our face-to-face surveys are about 15 percent lower than those of mail surveys. This paper provides new findings and presents many potential factors influencing mail surveys. Response rates are less affected by the survey topic if we use the same operational details. The response rates of three recent mail surveys are 78% (topic: Trust), 77% (Health), and 79% (Politics). Further, three characteristic curves of cumulative returns are very similar. However, members of the sample who have an interest in the topics respond faster than people who answer surveys as a result of effective follow-ups and incentives. Effective strategies for offering incentives yield higher response rates and lower the effect of topic interest.

Sinece1978, the candidates for the Kitasato University, Medical School have been requested to answer the translated edition of MMPI. For these5years, two kinds of Japanese editions were adopted for test alternately, and total of3894male and786female candidates took this test. Using this material, the authors have studied the influence of translation into Japanese on the response for each MMPI item and profile pattern. The results were as follows: (1)Excluding D and Si scales, the mean scores of the remaining 12scales of either Doshisha or Nihon-edition were located within a difference of one standard deviation from the mean values of the norm group. (2)By means of item by item comparison, considerably large difference between the two editions was observed in the percentage of cases giving?gtrue?hresponse. This fact suggested that difference between the editions had to be taken into consideration when individual items were used separately or scales were newly constructed by using items with high risk of different response pattern.

Although the mathematical bases of risk are not entirely derived from the probability theory, the two have a delicate and unique relationship. At the origin of the science of risk, insurance companies flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries, where the calculation of insurance premium was based on probabilistic concepts, especially those developed by Pascal. Distinguished mathematicians such as Huygens, Bernoulli, and Bayes all belonged to this era. The probability theory was often used for risk analysis with relatively simple structures such as chemicals and toxicology, and this tendency is still dominant today. However, as risk targets expanded to include complex and non-linear phenomena such as environmental and social risks, the conventional, simple probability theory proved inadequate. In particular, probabilistic tools cannot be used to assess the complex mechanisms of low-level radiation risk. Moreover, huge earthquakes and nuclear power plant meltdown incidents that have a low frequency of occurrence but devastating repercussions cannot be approached with the probability theory. The appropriate mathematical model for such risks has not yet been developed.

Until now, social surveys (i.e., public opinion surveys) heve been conducted using the face-to-face interview method. This is due to the facts that: (a) resident registrations (or voting registries), which are regarded as a sampling frame which adequately represents total populations, are available in Japan and can relatively easily facilitate obtaining unbiased probability samples, and (b) the reliability of the face-to-face interview method in surveys is regarded as high. Conversely, from the perspective of the spread of household telephones, the telephone survey method has been regarded as one by which it is impossible to obtain probability samples which represent ordinary citizens. Since the 1980s, household telephone coverage has increased (to over 90%). Consequently, the telephone survey method, which is especially useful for its promptness, has been used for voter forecasting surveys, and in the 1990s this method also has been utilized in public opinion surveys. However, not enough research on the telephone survey method has yet been done with respect to the representativeness of its samples or the reliability of survey results. This paper discusses past and current research regarding telephone surveys (specifically the current RDD survey method), and actual survey results, including their errors (except sampling errors). Moreover, by comparing the responses using both the telephone survey method and face-to-face interviews, the differences between the two methods are discussed. The current RDD method is viable; however, we cannot predict this method's future due to developments in communication technology. Finally, because there are many problems to overcome with respect to actual survey methods, further research, e.g., accumulating actual survey results and re-analyzing existing survey data, is necessary.

Social survey questionnaires tend to be large numbers of items with diverse content. Hence, irrespective of the quantification procedure used, the quantitative dimensions obtained may be quite large. In the usual applications of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), however, three-dimensional solutions are the most complex interpretations typically employed. Orthonormal principal component analysis (OPCA) for categorical variables (Murakami, 2020) was devised to interpret large-dimensional quantities of information in categorical variables. In this study OPCA is applied to survey data obtained from spectators at a Japanese professional baseball stadium. Six interpretable components are derived, and mean differences of component scores among four demographic groups are found. From the simple structure attained by rotation of the matrix of weights, it became possible to draw scatter plots between specified components. A few plots between uncorrelated but nonlinearly related components suggested that so-called horseshoe phenomena are not necessarily mathematical artifacts but may reflect empirical properties.

It is not easy for companies to know how consumers react to advertisements. In recent years, the idea of occasion recognition has been proposed as a method for knowing the advertising effect. This is a state in which consumers remember the situation when they see an advertisement, and it is considered that the advertisement effect is higher in this state. However, a questionnaire survey is required to observe the occasion cognition. In the present research, we estimate the consumers who are in the occasion cognitive state by measuring the operation status of mobile phones. It is possible to identify the layer (digital occasion clusters) that are presumed to be occasion cognition without conducting a survey.

Spatial analysis and modeling have played significant roles in the empirical analysis for political science. This paper first reviews the development and application of the spatial analysis in political cognition from methodological point of view. The emphasis is laid on the multidimensional scaling technique and its extensions. Then, one of the recent developments in special analysis, Bayesian K-INDSCAL, which is a multidimensional scaling with both individual and group differences, is applied to the Japanese expert survey data on party policies. Three latent-classes have been identified, with related but heterogeneous spatial representations. Individual differences in terms of dimensional weight have also been identified. Implications and future directions of spatial analysis in political science are discussed.

This study examined the effect of the position of answer category “neither” of a rating scale (applicable/not applicable) of a self-administered questionnaire on the subjects' response rate, ease of answering, and misunderstanding of answer options in the case of a web survey. An eye tracking experiment was conducted on 56 university students. Fifty responses were analyzed and 6 were excluded due to insufficient data. The results showed that: (1) when “neither”is placed at the far right of the rating scale, the response rate is lower than when at the center; (2) when “neither” is placed at the far right, some participants mistakenly thought it displayed the most negative answer of “not applicable” because they did not observe the right side carefully; and (3) participants who correctly recognized the position of “neither” on the right had a higher fixation counts on the answer options and larger eye movements than those who did not recognize it.

In this study, the moderating effect of consumers' information processing on post-purchase evaluations in an environment characterized by information overload was examined. Although it is important to understand how information processing during decision-making affects post-purchase evaluations, which include satisfaction with one's decision and repurchase intention, the influence of information processing on evaluations after purchasing is not well understood. Based on the unconscious thought study, two modes of thinking were compared: conscious thought and unconscious thought. To examine purchasing behavior regarding DVD players and window curtains, we conducted an online survey and performed path analyses. The results indicated that conscious thought had a negative impact on satisfaction with decision when consumers were confused by information overload. Moreover, it was suggested that unconscious thought had a positive impact on repurchase intentions when consumers felt confused by information overload. Finally, some implications and future research issues were addressed.

An integrated classification algorithm is a decision-making method that is not limited to a single classifier. It comprises multiple classifiers to maintain a high classification performance for various datasets. This study investigated the feasibility of an integrated classification algorithm for offender profiling. Offender profiling is the analysis of a crime scene using statistical and psychological methods to estimate information such as the age, job, and criminal record of the offender. In this study, the following 12 machine learning algorisms were used: decision tree (C5.0, CART by entropy or Gini), logistic regression analysis (LR), naïve bayes (NB), random forest (RF), bagging, boosting, support vector machine (SVM by radial basis function or polynomial), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and neural network (NN). The results of the study showed that the classification performances of each algorithm varied for different objective variables of the dataset (e.g., criminal record, age, or job of offenders of residential burglar). However, the majority decisions made by a combination of three classifier algorithms (e.g., decision tree, LR, and NB) showed high classification performance regarding any dataset.

In this paper, POS data with IDs of drugstores is applied to the analysis method proposed by Govaert & Nadif (2010). By using the Poisson latent block model with snacks purchase history data at drugstores located in the Gifu region, we cluster both the customers and the snacks brands simultaneously, and grasp the snack brand group that the customer group with a high purchase frequency choose. Furthermore, based on the model estimation, we discuss effective marketing measures in drugstores. Although we analyze only snack category, it can be extended to other product categories and is an effective way to summarize Big Data.
