Bruno
D. Zumbo, Ph.D. Professor
(MERM) My
interests focus in measurement and statistical science. Most
recently I have worked on latent variable and observed score
psychometric models including complex tasks, complex survey,
measurement of change, and differential item functioning.
My methodological developments are applied and tested, by
me and others, in the domains of educational and psychological
research, language testing, health studies, and in quality
of life and subjective well-being research.
Recent papers include studies of Bayesian methods in IRT,
nonparametric statistics, DIF detection methods, and reliability
theory. I am also formally affiliated with the Department
of Statistics and the Department of Psychology at UBC.
