This article focuses on a new proposed artificial neural network (ANN) model for tourism demand forecasting using time-series which, unlike previous models, uses different seasons of arrivals and values of months with similar behavior as input variables ...

Measurement invariance is not only an important requirement of tests but also a central point in the examination of the Rasch model. suggested quasi-exact tests for small samples which allow for formulating test-statistics based on matrices ...

The aim of survival analysis is to study if and when some event occurs. With continuous-time analysis subjects are followed until the time they experience the event or drop out. In practice, subjects cannot always be followed continuously and event ...

The application of latent class (LC) analysis involves evaluating the LC model using goodness-of-fit statistics. To assess the misfit of a specified model, say with the Pearson chi-squared statistic, a p-value can be obtained using an asymptotic reference ...
