The PRISM Lab

The research team in the PRISM lab at Fordham University studies and develops quantitative and statistical methods and their applications to the social and behavioral sciences. The PRISM lab conducts research in the following subject areas:

• Generalized latent variable and psychometric modeling (e.g., generalized structural equation models, cognitive diagnosis models, factor analysis, item response theory)

• Bayesian inference, modeling, and prediction

• Mixture modeling

• Measurement invariance, adaptive testing, and psychological/educational measurement

• Estimation theory for psychometric and generalized latent variable models

• Multilevel and longitudinal modeling

• Computational statistics as applied the psychological, behavioral, and social sciences
