The monograph contains a number of new author's theoretical and methodological developments based on the methods of mathematical information theory. It can be useful for students, graduate students and researchers in the analysis of data and the construction of models of economic, sociological and psychometric processes. It can be used as a textbook in the study of the relevant sections of the course "Mathematics", "modeling And data processing", "Econometrics" and others.

Comparable Performance

The present article describes an innovative application of microcomputers to provide instruction simultaneously to graduate students on campus and to a group of doctoral students located 100 miles from campus. Using Macintosh Classic II computers and supporting equipment, both groups were taught a two-course sequence on statistical methods over two ten-week quarters. Evaluative data indicated similar academic achievement in both groups and comparable performance to previous sections of the course. Student attitudes were mixed, with students on-campus being more critical of the approach than students off-campus. The instructional approach appears to provide a viable alternative solution to a difficult problem for distance education. The use of Macintosh Classic II computers to facilitate instruction over long distance provides an acceptable compromise between extensive travel by either students or an instructor.

Methodological Difficulties

The article discusses the methodological difficulties associated with the spread of statistical methods of data processing in psychological works. In particular, there is a simplification of the understanding of statistics by researchers, which increasingly leads to the adoption of the hypothesis of the presence of the effect, in a situation where it is not. There is a brief review of publications and examples where this issue is the subject of critical analysis. Presented a research which showed that in the repetition of experiments published in reputable journals, the significance accepted in the scientific community was observed only in 39% of the works — this effect was called the “publication shift”. The article discusses ways to solve this problem, in particular, meta-analysis, through which it is possible to confirm the results of a series of experiments relating to one problem — subject to the availability of information about the design and openness of raw data. An understanding of the probabilistic nature of statistical results must be mandatory for the evaluation of studies
